As an aside, I think we also need to have a way of ordering the published CPTs as they seem to only be in post_id order.

@azurecurve I have added support for menu order and also post edit table list can now be ordered by menu_order, apart of course, the actual front end now also will work when you pass order=“ASC” orderby=“menu_order” to the shortcode (done already for plugin guidelines) Let me know if this resolves…

Are you thinking alphabetical order or something more sophisticated?

I was thinking something more sophisticated; like with pages where you can set an order.

That can be done with posts too, but what would the order be based on?

Preference of those creating the pages, I guess. I thought of it when adding the plugin guidelines; if I could have set them it would have been Guidelines, Submission, Review, Adoption, Vulnerability Reporting.

I’ve split my “aside” off to a different thread as it was a diversion from the original topic which I hadn;t expected to grow like that.

[image] anon66243189: Now set a menu order number in each of your docs to determine the precise order you want This came up because menu order isn’t available in the Plugin Guidelines CPT.

My bad! Truly the CPT for guides is not featuring the page support. We’ve to add it, then we can use what I mentioned prior. For now thus you can only orderby native WP standard post data such as title, date, modified, id. If I ever get server access, I can make those changes myself. If not, We …
