Thanks @ppeyman for the report, as I know the new products widget used news_from_date as default sorting instead custom sorting out of stock attribute. Please see below for reference https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.4.6/app/code/Magento/Catalog/Block/Product/Widget/NewWidget.php#L86-L118 https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.4.6/app/code/Magento/Catalog/Block/Product/NewProduct.php#L147-L150

Further more we support the Product List only, there was no plans for widget yet.

so that mean i disable new products in our site ?

@ppeyman not sure, but for sure our module took no effect to the New Products widget and the widget works as Out of the box Magento

Owner

so why when i disable your module problem of widget solved ?

Here what I archived before and after enabling/disabling module, reindexing Before

After

See https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.4.6/app/code/Magento/Catalog/Block/Product/Widget/NewWidget.php#L86-L118

I supposed the logic as your screenshot came to Magento/Catalog/Block/Product/Widget/NewWidget.php::_getRecentlyAddedProductsCollection Where the order was sorting by created_at desc

Are you able to double check the logic?

[ppeyman]

my logic :

  protected function _getProductCollection()
    {
        switch ($this->getDisplayType()) {
            case self::DISPLAY_TYPE_NEW_PRODUCTS:
                $collection = parent::_getProductCollection()
                    ->setPageSize($this->getPageSize())
                    ->setCurPage($this->getCurrentPage());
                break;
            default:
                $collection = $this->_getRecentlyAddedProductsCollection();
                break;
        }
        return $collection;
    }

    /**
     * Prepare collection for recent product list
     *
     * @return \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Collection|Object|\Magento\Framework\Data\Collection
     */
    protected function _getRecentlyAddedProductsCollection()
    {
        /** @var $collection \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Collection */
        $collection = $this->_productCollectionFactory->create();
        $collection->setVisibility($this->_catalogProductVisibility->getVisibleInCatalogIds());

        $collection = $this->_addProductAttributesAndPrices($collection)
            ->addStoreFilter()
            ->addAttributeToSort('created_at', 'desc')
            ->setPageSize($this->getPageSize())
            ->setCurPage($this->getCurrentPage());
        return $collection;
    }
