 * Hi,
 * Loving this plugin, does just what I need. However, I can’t get it to sort alphabetically.
   I’ve tried changing ASC to DESC, and removing altogether, and it continues to
   place the most recently added item at the top. I tried changing to the default
   TwentyEleven theme, and it makes no difference. Any ideas?
    thanks
 * Using shortcode:
    [display-posts category=”ourfaculty” tag=”Core” order=”ASC”
   orderby=”title” wrapper=”div” include_excerpt=”true” image_size=”thumbnail”]

 * Hmm, have you tried disabling plugins to see if they’re interfering with it? 
   What plugins do you currently have running on the site?
 * I’ve tested this in a new WordPress installation with TwentyEleven and just this
   plugin, and the orderby functionality works.

 * Thanks, I hadn’t thought of that!
 * The culprit is the plugin Posts Types Order. Now that I’ve got Display Posts 
   Shortcode working well, I shouldn’t need that anyway.
    thanks!
