 * I’ve added a sorting filter widget to sidebar with several sorting options which
   do work as expected when selected. However, when page loads, posts are not sorted(
   just the normal WordPress order). Is there a way to have posts appear in order
   specified by sorting filter when page loads instead of having to select that 
   order?
    E. g. I’d like the posts (plants) to appear in genus species order when
   page loads.
 * Thank you for the great plugin and the attention you extend to your customers.
 * My setup:
    Wordpress 5.9.1 Elementor Pro 3.6.3 FilterEverything 1.6 Ele Custom
   Skin 3.1.4 Custom Post Type 1.10.2 Advanced Custom Fields 5.1.2

 * Hello [@naturalenquirer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naturalenquirer/)
 * Thank you for using Filter Everything plugin.
    In general you can achieve that
   with custom code that modifies your WP_Query. If you are familiar with PHP you
   can look on this article and read about Order & Orderby parameters – [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters)
 * If you are not familiar with PHP, you have to ask a PHP developer for help.
