 * I like the plugin, but we really need to show a list sorted specifically as newest
   first. Can you please tell me if we can select to sort via date in the shortcode?

 * [@bryanearl907](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bryanearl907/) sorting feature
   is available in advanced version. It has already been developed and released.
   It can be provided in shortcode as well but still sorting will work in advanced
   version.

 * I have looked through all available documentation and screenshots and see nothing
   about this. I am NOT talking about the ability to show the “date created” column
   and then force the user to click that column to sort by.
 * I am specifically talking about the ability to show the list of documents ALREADY
   SORTED by date created when the page loads. Wouldn’t this require adding that
   info to the shortcode?

 * Yes, I am talking about pre-sorted items as well using a screenshot or a setting
   option from admin panel. We are on the same page.

 * Then what would the shortcode be to sort by date?

 * It would be orderby=”date” order=”ASC” or order=”DESC”.

 * So, that does not appear to be working at all. Here is the code I am using and
   no matter what I use (ASC, or DESC), it doesn’t matter. The list is sorted by
   filename, not date.

 * You are misunderstanding it here, sorting feature is not available in basic version.
   Sorting will work in advanced version only. I am closing this ticket because 
   it is not a bug report but a feature investigation thread.

 * [@bryanearl907](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bryanearl907/) I have released
   a new version in which premium shortcode will be visible for basic version users
   as well. Hopefully it will minimize the confusions.
