 * Hi I’m trying to create a loop where posts for a custom taxonomy gets queried
   first, if there are not any then query through a secondary taxonomy
 * I tried using custom taxonomy ordering plugin with autosort enabled but that 
   didn’t work.
 * Is that possible with this plugin?
 * This is what I have going so far for reference:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       [loop type=post count=3 taxonomy=media_type term=articles relation=and taxonomy_2=industries term_2=healthcare,any-industry]
         <li>[field image]
       <div class="right-col"><h5>[field title-link]</h5><p>[field excerpt]</p></div>
         </li>
         [if count=2 compare=more]
          <a class="nectar-button small see-through accent-color has-icon" href="/resources/?_sft_media_type=articles&_sft_industries=healthcare,any-industry"><span>See More Related Articles</span><i class="icon-button-arrow" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></i></a>
         [/if]
       [/loop]
       </ul>
       ```

 * Use `loop-count`
 * Run loop-count for both taxonomy loops separately, then you can descide what 
   query to use in content loop.
