 * Hi, uh, me again.
    I was wondering if it’s possible to add custom “sort by” options
   to the listings overview page. Currently, you can sort by price (asc/desc) and
   date (asc/desc). My client wants to be able to sort by make (alphabetically) 
   and category (also alphabetically). I’m staring at the two files orderby.php 
   and Query.php which look like the most promising candidates for adding this functionality,
   but I have no idea what I should be putting in there in order to get it to show
   up and to actually work…
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-sort-by-options%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Chris,
 * It can only be done via custom coding. If you want to customize the order on 
   the listings page, please contact us here [https://wpautolistings.com/services/](https://wpautolistings.com/services/).
