Michael,

To confirm, I checked-out one of the pages of the site I’m using the plugin with (https://www.thefrugalbroker.com/resources/real-estate-articles/) and the list is indeed automatically sorting by title. The short code I’m using to generate this list is as follows:

[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" categories="real-estate-articles" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="asc"]

When I first encountered my problems, I noticed that by default the list’s Create Date column’s “down” widget was automatically activated, which meant that the list was being sorted by descending date instead of by title (and nothing I tried seemed to override that). The vendor was able to reproduce the problem and quickly fixed it; once the newer version of the plugin was released, the problem went away (notice on my site how, by default, the Title field’s “Up” widget is displayed).

So, I’m surprised your list isn’t sorting correctly–it does work with all of my lists. Have you tried different browsers and/or different devices to see if that makes a difference?

Wow, well done! I followed your instructions and now the login mechanism works perfectly! My client will be SO pleased! I’ll be sure to let him know how helpful you folks were as we move our site to production. Feel free to close this ticket and thanks again!

A perfect example of my issues can be viewed online at https://www.thefrugalbroker.biz/resources/real-estate-articles/. There are 12 documents assigned to the category I’m displaying, and when the page is initially loaded the files do appear in alphabetical order according to title. A split second later, however, they reorganize themselves by date in descending order (which isn’t what I want). Note that after the page loads, the “Created Date” column’s down widget is bright, as if I had manually selected the column and requested the table to be ordered by descending date.

Here’s the shortcode I’m using to display the page:

[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" categories="real-estate-articles" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="asc"]

This really seems like a bug with your plugin but perhaps I don’t have something configured correctly?

Finally, is there a way for me to further configure the presentation of the table? Ideally, I’d prefer NOT to display the title of each document as a link and I’d prefer to forego the Categories and Created Date columns completely in preference to displaying a Descriptions category instead. Is such configuration possible or do I not have a choice regarding how the table is presented?

Thanks for all the help!
