 * I have a page using the shortcode from the Plugin page:
 * [yop_poll_archive sort=”date_added” sort_dir=”desc”]
 * However, it doesn’t seem to sort by newest first. I can’t figure it out. Any 
   help is appreciated.
 * Additionally, is there a way to have the archive page/shortcode not show drafts?
   Currently the shortcode is displaying all polls, including the drafts, looking
   to have it just show published ones.

 * it looks like there is an error on the docs page.
    The correct shortcode looks
   like this
 * `[yop_poll_archive sort=”date_added” sortdir=”desc”]`
 * As for not displaying drafts in poll archive, it looks like it’s a bug as it 
   should only display published polls.
 * Both these issues will be fixed with the next release.

 * That short code worked, and noted on the patch for the next release. Thank you
   for the response and help! Much appreciated!
