Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I have checked this archive page which contains 9 products hidden link

Every product does not have a "Post Order" value, on which you are ordering the archive template. Check an example screenshot hidden link

These are the products that I have checked:
- hidden link
- hidden link
- hidden link
- hidden link
- hidden link
- hidden link
- hidden link
- hidden link
- hidden link

Can you check if adding an order to these posts will produce the expected results?

Hallo Jamal,

Thnx for your suggestion. I have tried adding a value to the field "post order" toll all products in a specific category but its not working yet unfortunately. I've tried this on the category you suggested but also on the test site which contains latest updated plugins @ hidden link

Any other suggestions?

I run a test on a new installation and I was able to sort products inside a taxonomy archive with a custom field. The only difference we have is that my field is a number field and yours is a "single line" field.

I suggest you add a new custom field for ordering and make it a number field, then update the archive template to sort on this new custom field.

You can check my test site by following this one-click-login link hidden link

If this does not help, we'll need to exclude any possible compatibility conflict with your theme and other plugins, please check if this issue appears when:
- Only Toolset plugins are activated. It will tell us if there is an interaction issue with another plugin.
- The theme is set to a WordPress default like Twenty Fourteen. It will tell us if there is an interaction issue with your theme.
If the problem disappears, start activating one at the time to track where the incompatibility is produced.
