 * Is this possible? I am working on a large news site with years of post archives
   and giving a reader the ability to sort posts by date would be a great feature.

 * Hello [@deanolmstead](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deanolmstead/)
 * Thank you for you question. Yes it is possible, but you have to create a Filter
   Set for your news because sorting feature works only for filtered WP_Query. You
   don’t need to display the Filter Set, but it must be created.
 * I hope this helps you to achieve your goal.
