Is there a way to sort by featured listings using the “gd_listings” shortcode. This is what I have but it’s not working:
```
[gd_listings post_type="gd_place" sort_by="featured" title_tag="h3" layout="4" post_limit="20" view_all_link="0" with_pagination="1" bottom_pagination="1" pagination_info="before" category="clubs"]
```
It’s still ordering by date.

You can use the option to show only featured listings, but there isn’t an option to sort by featured. Show only featured with show_featured_only=”1″
```
[gd_listings post_type="gd_place" sort_by="az" title_tag="h3" layout="1" post_limit="5" add_location_filter="1" show_featured_only="1" view_all_link="1" bottom_pagination="1"]
```

Thanks Alex. Is there some sort of filter/action I can add in functions.php to sort by featured first?

Hi Aleks,

You can find docs here about sorting; https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/design/gd-listings/

TDLR; If you add a custom sort option under;
CPT (places) > Settings > Sorting
It will then appear in the sorting list, so you can add featured as a sorting option and then apply it after.

Thanks,

Stiofan
