Search results sortable in different ways

    Currently, when you search a shortcode, the results are displayed by page.
    Now, I use shortcoder to create my own shortcodes and I use 3 different ones per page.

    I would find it very useful if I would be able to sort the results by shortcode instead of page. That way I can easily find all uses of: [sc name=”EXAMPLE”] instead of searching in the while list between all other [sc name=”DIFFERENT SHORTCODE”]

    Hi @nekojonez and thank for your suggestion.

    However I think that is a specific case useful only for Shortcoder users; and it depends also on how shortcode calls are written.
    In Shortcoder, the name of custom shortcode is only a shortcode parameter, so it can be written in different ways, distorting the ordered results.

    e.g. these are all the same shortcode but they would be shown in pseudo-random order:
    [sc name=”EXAMPLE”]
    [sc name=”EXAMPLE”]
    [sc name=”example”]
    [sc par1=”val1″ name=”EXAMPLE”]

    Fair enough. It would be extremely tricky to sort them.
