Sorting, please? about blockparty HOT 6 OPEN

I also like being able to group exhibits. But it does not order the different groups by the same criteria and I would like to be able to order them by date.

I'm glad that the plugin is helpful to you! Implementing that kind of sorting will be a bit difficult, since it's not something that's built in to the method that I'm using to gather the items and collections where it'd be relevant. I don't have much time to devote to new feature development now, but if this would be helpful to others please say so! The more people that would benefit the easier it is to devote time to new development.

I would think it would be, such as being able to sort by Date or Creator or Location. My use case is that I need to sort by a numeric value in an element in my custom item type for the order in which items were shown at events.

Coming back to say that this is still something I would find really useful. I'd love to be able to sort within an item block by Title or Date or Creator, as well as an arbitrary field.

Maybe a way to integrate item shortcodes?

It's unlikely that I'll be able to devote time to adding features to this plugin in the foreseeable future. Anyone is welcome to fork this repository to add features or submit a pull request to enable this functionality though.

Just a comment for anyone looking to implement this... I may be misinterpreting some of the prior messages here, but I did want to point out that get_records, the function used here to get the items, etc. to display, does support sorting. You pass it the keys sort_field and sort_dir along with the other keys used to filter the returned records.
