# Menu_order issues

 * Hi there, for the most part, I love this plugin, but seem to be having issues
   with duplicates and odd ordering.
 * We are using a custom post type, products, and they are listed on a category 
   archive. We use the following code:
 * `[ajax_load_more category="'.$category.'" post_type="products" orderby="menu_order"
   posts_per_page="12" max_pages="0" order="ASC" offset="0" scroll_distance="300"
   button_label="More Products" category__not_in="14,18"]`
 * It seems that using menu_order really upsets this plugin. Let’s say there’s 40
   products to be displayed. Using `orderby="name"`, everything works fine. 12 items
   load alphabetically, then as you scroll, the next 12 do.
 * With menu_order, 12 load in the incorrect post order, then the next 12 load, 
   with duplicates. If there’s 40 items to load, it might only load 28, as an example.
 * Am I doing something wrong here? Would love to know how to fix this. Thanks.

 * Hi [@unexploded](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unexploded/),
    Sounds more
   like an issue with your repeater template than `menu_order`.
 * Can you post your template?

 * Hey thanks for the quick reply, sure can:

       <?php get_header(); ?>
       <div id="page">
       <!--content-->
       <div class="section group">

 * Hmm, template looks good.
    I just tested the following shortcode and it works
   as expected on my dev install.
 * `[ajax_load_more post_type="movie" orderby="menu_order" order="ASC" posts_per_page
   ="1"]`
 * Which plugin are you using for ordering the pages? Maybe there is an issue there.

 * Hi there, really appreciate the quick replies!
 * I don’t know what to say, every time I use menu_order it creates those problems
   I have explained above.
 * The link in question is : [http://test.s7media.net/earthmet/category/product-range/earthing/](http://test.s7media.net/earthmet/category/product-range/earthing/)
 * So at the moment, that’s set up to use menu_order. You’ll see as you scroll, 
   it duplicates (the plastic cable clamps as an example).
 * On alphabetical, it’s fine.

 * Hi [@dcooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) did you have a chance
   to check out my last couple of posts?

 * Hi [@unexploded](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unexploded/),
    No i didn’t
   because these frikken forums don’t order by most recent anymore.
 * Maybe it’s something to do with the category query.
    Any chance you’ve tried 
   removing the category__not_in parameter?

 * No worries! Grateful for your help so far.
 * I have tried to remove that and no luck I’m afraid. However, I have stripped 
   the whole thing back, and managed to get it to work to an extent:
 *     ```
       <?php 
       $cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
       $category = $cat->slug;
       echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more category="'.$category.'" post_type="products" posts_per_page="12" orderby="menu_order" category__not_in="14,18"]');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * However, I think `order="ASC"` combined with `orderby="menu_order"` is causing
   the issue. As soon as I try this, it throws it out. Even if it’s just `orderby
   ="menu_order"` and order, with nothing else. However, using `orderby="title"`
   for example, along with order, works fine.

 * I asked this above but not sure if you seen it…
 * Are you using a plugin for ordering items in the WP Admin?

 * Hi sorry, been real busy. There are no plugins installed for ordering items.
 * I’ve been racking my brains on this one and just cannot figure it out. I even
   tried `order="asc"` last night, and it WORKED!! However, it’s stopped working
   this afternoon. It’s like, it sometimes works, then it just gives up.

 * Also, there’s still the issue of some products not displaying. There could be
   80-odd items, but it only displays 40-odd.

 * No worries – I haven’t been able to replicate your issue so I’m just not sure
   at this point.

 * You need to set `max_pages="0"` in your shortcode.
