 * Hi, I see where I can set the universal setting for all lists to be “sorted by”
   but how can I change the “sort by” for only one particular folder? Is there a
   parameter that I can add into its shortcode?
 * thanks

 * There are no shortcode attributes for sorting, but I can certainly add them in
   the next release. Usage will be…
 * `[eeSFL sortby="Name, Date, Size, or Random" sortorder="Descending or Ascending"]`
 * 4.2.3 should be out in the next few days.

 * I’ve just released 4.2.3, which includes the new shortcode attributes for sorting.
   Please update and let me know.

 * Nice! Will it be integrated into the shortcode builder tool in File List settings?
