This solves my problem. Thanks very much.

I do have one further question though:

In Edit View > Ordering > Order by, there are several instances of the field "year-4sorting." How do I delete that ones that I don't need / don't exist anymore? I tried post field control, but there is only one "year-4sorting" there.

Hi. When I was importing new data via CSV files and experimenting/troubleshooting, I ended with several custom fields that I'm not using.

Here's a screenshot. I want to keep the "year-4sorting" custom field that I'm currently using to for product ordering, and I want to get rid of any other ones, including "year-4sorting2" and "wcpf-year-4sorting-date."
