    Is there a way to order the published listings on two levels?
    First condition would be on ‘Featured’ and second on ‘Newest’ or ‘A-Z’.

    This would be a great way for the site owner to promote features/paid listings.

    (If this isn’t possible, can I request it as a feature request?)

    Guust,

    Problem is, I want to order listings called by the shortcode below.
    Even with your settings (see attachment), when I delete sort_by=”featured_desc” from the shortcode below, it only shows the most recent listings.
    I’m looking for a way to sort the listings from the shortcode first on featured, econd on random.

    Sytse

    [gd_listings post_type=”gd_place” post_limit=”15″ add_location_filter=”1″ sort_by=”featured_desc” title_tag=”h3″ layout=”3″ view_all_link=”1″ bottom_pagination=”1″ category=”0″]

    If you make a sort in the sorting options, then, in your GD Listings, you can choose that sort. Make sense?

    Alex, yes, but not in two grades/nested

    In the sorting options I have for example:

    Featured
    – Random
    – A-Z
    (Featured is main, Random and A_Z are nested, like Guust Explained, see also my previous attachment)

    When I edit the shortcode, I can only choose as sort for Featured or Random or A-Z.
    I would need to have ‘Default’ (or just empty) to use the (nested) sort from the settings. Now If I leave sort_by=”featured_desc” empty, it automatically sorts on ‘newest’ and it doesn’t follow the general sort settings.

    Other solution would be shortcode like: first_sort_by=”featured_desc” second_sort_by=”random”

    Please post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply and we will have a look at your settings if you like.
    Also include which CPT you want the sort applied to.

    You did not set the Featured Sort as active: FIXED.
