 * I have created a query loop block variation to allow me to sort and filter by
   non-standard fields. In WP 6.2 I had a control to allow me to select list (by
   default) or grid views (the one I normally need) of the returned posts/fields.
 * In WP 6.3 these controls are no longer there and I can only use the ‘replace’
   control to select a different pattern. I understand the reasoning and appreciate
   the additional choice. However, if I select a different pattern (ie grid) the
   block reverts to a standard query loop block instead of my variation so that 
   I no longer have the alternative filter and sort options.
 * What do I need to do to my block variation to allow it to use the patterns without
   reverting to a standard query loop block?

 * From [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/14/layout-updates-in-the-editor-for-wordpress-6-3/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/14/layout-updates-in-the-editor-for-wordpress-6-3/):-
 * _Previously, the Post Template block had custom layout styles that allowed for
   either a “list” or a “grid” (implemented behind the scenes with CSS flex) layout,
   with controls living in its parent Query block._
 * _For 6.3, layout and block spacing support have been added to Post Template, 
   and its controls now live in the Post Template toolbar. There is still a choice
   of “list” and “grid” styles, but “grid” is now implemented with the grid layout
   type._
 * I have now wrapped my query data in a post template block and can choose between
   list and grid again.
