Woocommerce Product Short Code Order by Order of IDs

I would like to order the product display by the ids that are entered in [products ids=””] short code. I need it to order by the order you enter it. So… [products ids=”1,2,3″] [products ids=”3,1,2″] [products ids=”2,3,1″] … all list differently.

I found this piece of code that I think is close but doesn’t quite work. I’m not real familiar with this method so I am not sure what is wrong.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_query', 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_orderby' );
function woocommerce_shortcode_products_orderby( $args ) {
    $standard_array = array('menu_order','title','date','rand','id');
if( isset( $args['orderby'] ) && !in_array( $args['orderby'], $standard_array ) ) {
$args['orderby']  = 'post__in'; 
}

return $args;

I read up on post__in but not sure how it gets the ID list I entered. Is there another/better way to grab that id list and use it for the order?

Any ideas on how to get this thing to work?

    Just add order by in your shortcode like – 

    [products ids="1,2,3" orderby="post__in"]
[products ids="3,1,2" orderby="post__in"]
[products ids="2,3,1" orderby="post__in"]

    Update from 2020.

    The products shortcode can’t handle this orderby

    So you can create your own foreach loop:

    foreach ($products_to_show_array as $_product_id) {
    setup_postdata( $GLOBALS['post'] );

    // Render product template.
    wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' );
}
wp_reset_postdata();
