GD Listings won’t do sub-sorts, it can only show a single sort at a time. * So use the title sort you want, then use the filter options to filter for ‘featured only’. * Always use the shortcode builder to get the right parameters * [https://wpgeodirectory.com/documentation/article/core-widgets/shortcode-builder/](https://wpgeodirectory.com/documentation/article/core-widgets/shortcode-builder/) * ```wp-block-code [gd_listings post_type="gd_place" post_limit="5" show_featured_only="1" sort_by="az" title_tag="h3" layout="2" view_all_link="1" bottom_pagination="1" slide_interval="5" mb="3"] ``` * [rbshep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbshep/) * (@rbshep) * [6 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-63/#post-18726616) * This does not seem to offer any real solution to the problem I am facing. I am running a services directory and I need to be able to search for the service type then location and get a result the places featured first in the set radius. I am not getting that feature to work. I am not sure what needs to be done. Please give me a shout back and let me know how to make this work. Additionally, I would prefer to sort be featured then package type but I don’t see that option under sorting. That is what makes the most sense to me. It seems like that is a much needed feature add if it’s not an option. I really could use some help sorting by featured. * ![](https://wordpress.org/f25fade8-bb09-4851-b74b-0ae548236821) * Plugin Author [Paolo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paoltaia/) * (@paoltaia) * [6 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-63/#post-18728266) * Please avoid posting on other people’s support requests, even if they seem related, especially if they are already resolved, because nobody will answer.

I is a sorting issue. Moreover it is a big problem that needs to be solved because the built it sorting functionality is very basic. I can work with featured sorting but it would be nice to have sorting for each package. Paid customers don’t want to be buried under free or lessor paid listings.
