 * Hi there!
 * I’m using the wpc_list_pages sortcode to show certain posts. I would like to 
   change the order that thay are displayed.
 * While I’m aware of the “orderby” argument, posts don’t have “menu_order”, so 
   I cannot use it.
 * Is there any way to do it?
 * Thanks,

 * Hey Joan,
 * Definitely use our perferred support channel for customers (email) as we see 
   those far quicker than on here.
 * You can use order by date for posts, and update dates lessons appear in the order
   you’d like. That’s the work around for posts. To show only certain posts, only
   include the category ID or tag of post you want. This is from our documentation
   on our website:
 * You can filter by category or tag as well in your [wpc_list_pages] shortcode,
   by using the following syntax (categories require the category ID, whereas tags
   can be written out as the word):
 * `[wpc_list_pages cat="2"]`
 * Where “2” is the ID of the category you wish to filter by. So only lessons with
   the category ID of 2 will show in this list.
 * `[wpc_list_pages tag="lesson"]`
 * Where “lesson” is the name of the tag you wish to filter by. So only lessons 
   with the tag of “lesson” will be shown in this list.2

 * Hi again,
 * I thought about that work around, but that implies changing the order of the 
   posts too. Maybe I’ll use the last updated date instead.
 * Thanks again 🙂
