Thanks! I we were previously using order_by instead of orderby, I changed the shortcodes and now it is working.
For the other issue, when I search for the large group questionnaire and try to edit it, the weird stuff is still happening. I notice that after I search, I see this message at the top of the screen:
Notice: Array to string conversion in /home/ogapwsn948ky/public_html/dev.haaweb.net/wp-admin/edit.php on line 329
