 * Hy there!
 * I’m using Arconix FAQ for my website but I don’t understand how ordering works
   in this plugin. Could you please help me?
 * Kind regards,

 * The FAQs seem to be ordered by title by default.
 * If you use this shortcode…
 * [faq orderby=”menu_order” order=”ASC”]
 * …then the “Order” attribute (that you can enter by doing a Quick Edit on each
   FAQ) will be respected.
 * In my opinion, this “Order” attribute should be the default/primary attribute
   used for sorting, with the FAQ creation date second, then the title third. This
   is because I expect most users will enter their FAQs in the order they wish them
   to appear (not in reverse order!).

 * Thank you for this info mobilewebexpert. I’ve been going nuts trying to figure
   out why the custom ordering wasn’t working.

 * Is it possible to do a custom order by FAQ ID? I need to display my questions
   in a specific order. I tried:
 * [faq style=”accordion” orderby=”ID” order=”41,43,54″]
 * Thank you!

 * Please disregard my question above. I’ve figured it out by using orderby=menu_order
   and the Simple Custom Post Order plugin.

 * “Post Types Order” by Nsp-Code works for the posts themselves but it’s sister
   plugin “Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order” works on all my other custom
   post types but not doesn’t recognise Arconix FAQ’s taxonomy.
 * Has anyone got a suggestion that orders the categories for this plugin?
