This is still not working. I used the shortcode that you provided to me and the order still doesn’t work… and it also doesn’t made a difference if I change the order to “desc”. Here’s the code I used:

[wpdm_tree download_link=1 category=other-department-forms cat_orderby=”name” cat_order=”asc”]

And here’s a screenshot of it applied in the page:

Please let me know what I am doing wrong. I would like the folders to start with A, then B, then C.

Thank you!

The way that you changed it did not display the downloads in the proper order. The issue is that the post ID is set when they are uploaded so if they are uploaded out of order then even trying to reorder them using s re-order post plugin doesn’t actually change the ID.

So, my workaround was to edit the ‘publish date’ of each post and then to sort them by date. However, the folders don’t display correctly even though the content inside the folders do. The shortcode I am using is:

[wpdm_tree download_link=1 orderby=date order=desc category=improver-pages]

And the tree appears this way:

2016
Jan
Feb
March
April… etc

2017
Jan
Feb
March
April… etc

2018
Jan
Feb
March
April… etc

– – – BUT – –

What I want is for it to appear this way:

2018
Jan
Feb
March
April… etc

2017
Jan
Feb
March
April… etc

2016
Jan
Feb
March
April… etc

Is there a way to change the order of the categories?

Hello,

I think the issue is that I reordered the posts which was supposed to change the ID (which is does do with other custom post types, posts, and pages). Even after I re-order the downloads the ID doesn’t seem to change so it is still just organizing them by their uploaded ID instead of the re-ordered ID. I will send over a screenshot of the back and the front so you can see how the display order and the IDs don’t match. If you still need admin access please let me know.

Thanks!
