No worries. I was there a few years ago too. We all start from the beginning.

1. Anything in square brackets is called a shortcode in WordPress. You insert the shortcode into the text of a page or post.

Are the “terms” you are referring to the parameters that are passed to the command to display the FAQs? For example,

• order
• orderby
• style
• filter

You must embed the desired parameters within the shortcode you are entering in your page or post. Examples are given under the Documentation headings at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/quick-and-easy-faqs/. It is up to you to mix and match the various parameters as you desire, within the shortcode’s square brackets. So you might use [faqs order=”ASC” orderby=”date”] for example.

2. The order is set by the “orderby” parameter’s value. There are two options for this value, which you employ by using orderby=”title” or orderby=”date”.

If you are using the orderby=”date” parameter, the easiest way for you to change the order might be to alter the date of the individual FAQ items. Hover over the title of an item in the FAQ page and click on “Quick Edit”. You only need to alter the time or date slightly to make it seem like they were created in a different order, and that will affect the display.

I think I have used the technically correct terms. Hope this is what you are after.

At the moment, the following works for me, as the entire contents of
/wp-content/plugins/quick-and-easy-faqs/public/js/quick-and-easy-faqs-public.js

(function( $ ) {
	'use strict';

    /**
     * FAQ's setup
     * 
     * Remove .nojs from .qe-faq-toggle elements, and collapse all expanded
     * elements
     */
    $(function() {
	var all_toggles = $('.qe-faq-toggle');
	all_toggles.removeClass( 'nojs active' );
	all_toggles.find('i.fa').removeClass( 'fa-minus-circle' ).addClass( 'fa-plus-circle' );
    });

    /**
     * FAQs Toggles
     */
    $(function() {
		$(".qe-toggle-title").click(function () {
			if ($('.qe-toggle-content').is(':visible')) {
			  $(".qe-toggle-content").slideUp(100);
			  $('.qe-toggle-title').find('i.fa').removeClass( 'fa-minus-circle' ).addClass( 'fa-plus-circle' );
			}
			if ($(this).next(".qe-toggle-content").is(':visible')) {
					$(this).next(".qe-toggle-content").slideUp(100);
					$(this).find('i.fa').removeClass( 'fa-minus-circle' ).addClass( 'fa-plus-circle' );
																									 
			} else {
				   $(this).next(".qe-toggle-content").slideDown(100);
				   $(this).find('i.fa').removeClass('fa-plus-circle').addClass('fa-minus-circle');
																									
			   }
			 });
    });	   

    /**
     * FAQs Filter
     */
    $(function() {
        $('.qe-faqs-filter').click( function ( event ) {
            event.preventDefault();
            $(this).parents('li').addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
            var filterSelector = $(this).attr( 'data-filter' );
            var allFAQs = $( '.qe-faq-toggle' );
            if ( filterSelector == '*' ) {
                allFAQs.show();
            } else {
                allFAQs.not( filterSelector ).hide().end().filter( filterSelector ).show();
            }
        });
    });

})( jQuery );

Still not working as separate for me. I deactivated the snippet (for PHP v 7.2) and selected all the items in the media library and bulk removed all categories. Then I ran garbage collection and WP database optimize.

Both Media and Post Category pages continued to show the same items, which were all originally post categories. I deleted one of them in the Media Category screen to see if it was a separate duplicate, but it was also deleted from the Post list. Added it back in the Post list, and it is there in the Media list again.

I also tried deactivating and uninstalling the Media Library Categories plug-in, and putting it back, and toggling the snippet activation.
