Sometimes you just need a simple fix. Something bugs you and will confuse your shoppers, but the solution is just not built into the WooCommerce core. Such is the case with the sorting options on your shop page.

Toggle Sorting Options Off and On
As I mentioned, a simple fix. The WooCommerce Remove Product Sorting plugin is a free plugin from my friends over at Skyverge.
