Problem: I am using Blocks to create a custom search View with front-end sorting controls. I have removed Post Date from the sorting control configurations, but it still appears on the front-end of the site. How can I remove the Post Date sorting option?
Solution: The best current workaround is to select the top-level View block using the Block Navigation menu at the top of the screen . Then in the block configurations panel, open the Ordering Settings section and select the post title or post author here as the default sorting setting instead of post date. That should remove the post date sorting option from the front-end sorting controls.
Problem: I have a custom search View that contains several filters. I would like to display the filters in the left column of the page, and results in the right column of the page.
Solution: If you are designing this View in the Block Editor, you may find the following course lesson helpful.
There is a video with more details showing how you can move the filters and results into a two-column design, side-by-side.
