Ignoring default sort order?

    I’m sure it worked correctly in WP3.7.1 but it looks like since the 3.8 upgrade WP-Filebase is ignoring the default sorting and sort order selections and just displays them in alphabetical order. As a workaround have added a running number in front of file names but does anyone have any suggestions for a fix? Have tried adding directly to the shortcode but still doesn’t work.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    I have the same issue with WP3.8 and WP-Filebase. It was working before for me as well.

    I see a new version has been released so looks like Fabian is on the case again but the other thing that appears to have been changed is, “Reverted ‘direct access block’ since this is not working for multi-site in some cases”.

    Is there any chance of the issue above being fixed as it is pretty fundemental…

    Thanks,

    Having this issue as well.

    We have multiple files added per week, all with the date in the filename:

    Awesome File 14-06-03
    Awesome File 14-06-02
    Awesome File 14-06-01

    We have WP-Filebase default order set to display by title, Descending.

    Since the update they are listed Ascending like so:

    Awesome File 12-10-09
    Awesome File 12-10-10
    Awesome File 12-10-11
    …
    Awesome File 14-06-01
    Awesome File 14-06-02
    Awesome File 14-06-03

    Changing the default sort order and/or Ascending/Descending does nothing.

    It is crucial that this works as we have people paying for these files so they need to be displayed in the correct order.

    Same issue here, solved by using shortcode.

    So I need my docs in date order, latest first, so added sort=”>file_date” which did the trick.

    Hmmm, doesn’t seem to work for me. Tried various combinations of single and double quotes, > & < but always displays oldest first 🙁
