 * Hi. I used the shortcodes ([https://www.download-monitor.com/kb/shortcode-downloads/](https://www.download-monitor.com/kb/shortcode-downloads/))
   to list my downloads from a category … everything works fine, but I’ve a problem
   with `orderby="title"`.
 * My titles are like:
    This is a nice Filename since 01.07.2022 This is a nice 
   Filename since 27.06.2022 This is a nice Filename since 03.03.2021 …
 * If the downloads ordered by title the order is not correct because of the date
   at the end. The result is:
    This is a nice Filename since 27.06.2022 This is 
   a nice Filename since 03.03.2021 This is a nice Filename since 01.07.2022
 * Then I thought maybe I could sort by the short description.
 * Is this possible? Than I could enter there something like this: 22-07-01
 * This is my shortcode
    `[downloads featured="false" category="grundversorgung"
   tag="preisblatt" template="default" loop_start="" loop_end="" before="" after
   ="" order="DESC" orderby="title"]`
