sort categories on woocommerce single product page

Thanks Elliot, but what i mean is something else, see image https://www.dropbox.com/s/l0hgmcmazj42jht/Screenshot%202015-11-26%2018.49.29.png?dl=0
basically I have categories (e.g. Car), sub-categories (e.g. Audi and VW) as well as sub-sub-categories (e.g. S4 and Q5). At the moment the order in which the categories are shown on the product page is alphabetical, e.g. if a product was related to Q5 then it would show

Categories: Audi, Car, Q5

whereas I want to have it based on hierarchy

Categories: Car, Audi, Q5

Does it makes sense?

Hi Elliot

just thought I post a solution that I figured out myself.
The below code needs to be pasted in woocommerce/templates/single-product/meta.php and delete or comment the following line
echo $product->get_categories( ', ', '<span class="posted_in">' . _n( 'Category:', 'Categories:', $cat_count, 'woocommerce' ) . ' ', '</span>' );

$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
$args = array(
                   'type'                     => 'product',
                    'child_of'                 => 0,
                    'parent'                   => '',
                    'orderby'                  => 'term_group',
                    'order'                    => 'ASC',
                    'hide_empty'               => false,
                    'hierarchical'             => 1,
                    'exclude'                  => '',
                    'include'                  => '',
                    'number'                   => '',
                    'taxonomy'                 => 'product_cat',
                    'pad_counts'               => false
);

$categories = get_categories( $args );
$category_list_Names = array();
$category_list_Slugs = array();
foreach($categories as $cat ){
	foreach ($terms as $term ) {
  	  if ($cat->name == $term->name && !in_array($cat->name, $category_list_Names)) {
      	$category_list_Names[] = $cat->name;
      	$category_list_Slugs[] = get_term_link($cat->slug, 'product_cat');
      	break;
      	}
	}
}

$category_list = array();
for ($x = 0; $x <= count($category_list_Names); $x++) {
	$category_list[] = '<a href="'. $category_list_Slugs[$x] .'">'. $category_list_Names[$x] .'</a>';
}

	if( ! empty( $category_list ) ) {
		echo '<span class="posted_in">';
		echo _n( 'Category: ', 'Categories: ', sizeof( $category_list ) );
		echo implode( ',', $category_list );
		echo '</span>';
	}
