Woocommerce Order Column Hooks
hooks for manage order columns
### Useful Hooks for Managing Order Columns:
1. **Adding a Custom Column:**
add_filter('manage_edit-shop_order_columns', function ($columns) {
$columns['custom_column'] = __('Custom Column', 'your-text-domain');
return $columns;
});2. **Populating the Custom Column:**
add_action('manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column', function ($column, $post_id) {
if ($column === 'custom_column') {
echo get_post_meta($post_id, '_custom_meta_key', true) ?: 'N/A';
}
}, 10, 2);3. **Making the Custom Column Sortable:**
add_filter('manage_edit-shop_order_sortable_columns', function ($columns) {
$columns['custom_column'] = 'custom_column';
return $columns;
});
add_action('pre_get_posts', function ($query) {
if (!is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query()) {
return;
}
if ($orderby = $query->get('orderby')) {
if ($orderby === 'custom_column') {
$query->set('meta_key', '_custom_meta_key');
$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');
}
}
});4. **Modifying Order List Table Rows (For Styling or Custom Display):**
add_action('admin_head', function () {
echo '<style>
.column-custom_column { width: 150px; }
</style>';
});Would you like to apply this to a specific WooCommerce block-based environment or a standard admin order list?
### Alternative Approach for WooCommerce Blocks
Since WooCommerce Blocks primarily affect the frontend, the order management area still relies on the REST API and WooCommerce’s JavaScript-based UI. You might need to modify columns using a custom admin JavaScript script or extend the REST API.

## 1️⃣ **Using `woocommerce_admin_order_preview_get_order_details` Hook**
If you want to add custom data to the WooCommerce order preview panel (not the list view), use this:
add_filter('woocommerce_admin_order_preview_get_order_details', function ($order_data, $order) {
$order_data['custom_meta'] = get_post_meta($order->get_id(), '_custom_meta_key', true) ?: 'N/A';
return $order_data;
}, 10, 2);✅ **This works for the new WooCommerce Blocks admin preview panel.**
—
## 2️⃣ **Using the WooCommerce REST API to Add Custom Data**
If WooCommerce Blocks rely on the API, you can extend it:
add_filter('woocommerce_rest_prepare_shop_order_object', function ($response, $order, $request) {
$response->data['custom_meta'] = get_post_meta($order->get_id(), '_custom_meta_key', true);
return $response;
}, 10, 3);✅ **This ensures custom fields appear in API-based order lists.**
—
## 3️⃣ **Injecting JavaScript for Order List Modifications**
Since WooCommerce Blocks use React/JS for rendering, you can inject JavaScript:
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', function () {
wp_enqueue_script('custom-woo-orders', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/custom-woo-orders.js', ['wp-data', 'wp-hooks'], null, true);
});Then in `custom-woo-orders.js`:
wp.hooks.addFilter(
'woocommerce_admin_orders_list_column_headers',
'my-plugin',
(columns) => {
return { ...columns, custom_column: 'Custom Data' };
}
);
wp.hooks.addFilter(
'woocommerce_admin_orders_list_column_data',
'my-plugin',
(data, column, order) => {
if (column === 'custom_column') {
return order.custom_meta || 'N/A';
}
return data;
}
);✅ **This works if WooCommerce Blocks override the traditional order list.**

### **Which setup are you using?**
– If you’re using the new WooCommerce Blocks for order management, solution **#3 (JS-based)** is most effective.
– If the WooCommerce Blocks still pull data from the REST API, solution **#2 (API-based filter)** works better.
