    I tried to have the sort function (random, featured, rating, etc.) but they won’t show up on search and listing pages.

    I can’t also make the Distance sort show up. Am I missing something?

    Right, we both were missing something I think. The sort function is applied before the listings are presented to your visitors. The sort options are for you only: for example you would make the search serve up featured listings first if they meet the search criteria, and then by rating, and finally alphabetic by listing title.

    Thanks, Guust. So is this a bug as well or simply a matter of plugin configuration? I like to give users the option to sort the listings on the listings and search results pages.

    It is not a bug, that’s how it is supposed to be.
    If users want a different order, then they do another search with other parameters?

    Would you mind to show me how the sort option works on your site?

    Search for “park” near “new york” (make sure you are “everywhere”):

    The settings are as per image:
