orderby post title with numbers?

    I’ve got a page set up with testimonials to order by title, but it’s not working as expected. I suspect it is because I am trying to use numbers to achieve this.

    These are my titles and the order that they are appearing. I would have expected the last one to instead be between 20 and 30 instead of at the end. Any advice? I wanted to give my client the ability to control the order by title, and I went by 10s to allow some wiggle room for inserting in-between existing ones.

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching here…

    You need to post a custom order. our lite version is not available with custom order functionality.

    Thanks,

    Hi Ketan, I’m a little confused- so are you saying that any kind of sorting is only available in the full version? The documentation makes it look like ordering is included in all versions. I’m not trying to do a special order, just order by title, which it is not doing correctly.

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching here…

    We have checked our plugin order functionality and it’s working. lite version order is WordPress default functionality.

    Actually, you are using the order parameter “title” so its order is a title-wise display.

    Please try the below order value and set your requirement.

    order like: “title”, “modified”, “author”, ‘ID’, ‘rand’ and ‘date’.
    Ex:- [sp_testimonials orderby="title"]

    Thanks,

    Hm, I have had orderby=”title” set in my theme this whole time, but no dice.
    In my theme file:
    [sp_testimonials category=”‘.$testimonialGroup.'” display_quotes=”false” per_row=”1″ orderby=”title” order=”ASC”]
    Do you have any other ideas on what I could try? Do you think there’s something else interfering?

    Weird. I removed the offending post and re-added it, and then it sorted correctly… I’ll mark this as closed. Thanks for your help. I did have a custom order plugin installed earlier that I since removed, and I wonder if it messed something up.
