Method 1: Sorting by Total Cost

To sort shipping methods by total cost, add the following code to your functions.php file:



[php]
function wc_woocommerce_shipping_methods_by_total_cost( $rates ) {
$shipping_methods = array();
foreach ( $rates as $rate ) {
$shipping_methods[ $rate->id ] = $rate->cost + $rate->get_shipping_tax();
}
asort( $shipping_methods );
foreach ( $shipping_methods as $shipping_method_id => $shipping_method_cost ) {
foreach ( $rates as $rate ) {
if ( $rate->id == $shipping_method_id ) {
$sorted_rates[ $rate->id ] = $rate;
}
}
}
return $sorted_rates;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_package_rates’, ‘wc_woocommerce_shipping_methods_by_total_cost’ );

[/php]



This code will sort shipping methods by total cost, including any taxes.

Method 2: Sorting by Base Cost

To sort shipping methods by base cost, add the following code to your functions.php file:

[php]
function wc_woocommerce_shipping_methods_by_base_cost( $rates ) {
$shipping_methods = array();
foreach ( $rates as $rate ) {
$shipping_methods[ $rate->id ] = $rate->cost;
}
asort( $shipping_methods );
foreach ( $shipping_methods as $shipping_method_id => $shipping_method_cost ) {
foreach ( $rates as $rate ) {
if ( $rate->id == $shipping_method_id ) {
$sorted_rates[ $rate->id ] = $rate;
}
}
}
return $sorted_rates;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_package_rates’, ‘wc_woocommerce_shipping_methods_by_base_cost’ );

[/php]

This code will sort shipping methods by their base cost, without including any taxes.

[php]
function wc_woocommerce_shipping_methods_by_total_cost_including_free( $rates ) {
$shipping_methods = array();

$shipping_methods[ $rate->id ] = $rate->cost + $rate->get_shipping_tax();
if ( $rate->cost == 0 ) {
$shipping_methods[ $rate->id ] = 0;
}
}
asort( $shipping_methods );
foreach ( $shipping_methods as $shipping_method_id => $shipping_method_cost ) {
foreach ( $rates as $rate ) {
if ( $rate->id == $shipping_method_id ) {
$sorted_rates[ $rate->id ] = $rate;
}
}
}
return $sorted_rates;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_package_rates’, ‘wc_woocommerce_shipping_methods_by_total_cost_including_free’ );
