 * I use this plugin as an index of articles: [http://nomikos.info/indice-de-articulos](http://nomikos.info/indice-de-articulos).
   Works wonderful with those thumbnails! But always I need make some changes to
   order by date.
 *     ```
       # into:
       function get_popular_posts($instance, $echo = true) {		
   
       # add:
       case 'date':
       $sortby = 'post_date';
       break;
       ```
   
 *     ```
       # into:
       function wpp_shortcode($atts = NULL, $content = NULL) {
   
       # add:
       $order_by_values = array("comments", "views", "avg", "date");
       ```
   
 * I think that is a cool new feature for next versions.
