 * Hi, I am having trouble with ordering and using the post depth for custom post
   types (it works perfectly for standard posts). My site uses Advanced Custom Fields
   but none of your shortcodes work when trying to alter page_depth, order or orderby.
   
   Any help appreciated

 * Hi Colin,
 * What CPT are you referring to? And is it one you created or via another plugin?

 * Same here. I created a custom post type and the items in the sitemap are ignoring
   hierarchy – there is no post/child relationship as there is with built-in post
   types.

 * [@lsilver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lsilver/) Can you show me (e.g.
   via pastebin.com) the code you used to create your CPT so I can test my end?
