 * You can hide the sorting options with CSS
 *     ```
       .properties-filter-sort-by-wrapper {
          display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * To achieve random order, assuming the listing is achieved with the WP_Query class,
   use the “[pre_get_posts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts)”
   action. What ever you do in this action will affect all post queries, so you 
   either should conditionally add your callback only when needed or place a conditional
   within the callback so the random ordering is only applied to queries where it
   is wanted.
 * Aside from the conditionals, set the ‘[orderby](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters)‘
   query var to ‘rand’.
