Is it possible to order or combine all the results found of multiple nested Views?

For example, imagine I have two Views (View 1 and View 2) that return their own results. These two Views are inserted into another View (View 3). By default I believe that View 3 will display the results of View 1 and View 2 in whatever order they are inserted into View 3. Is there a way to "combine" all the results? Or be able to filter results across both Views?

I hope this makes some sort of sense!

Hello,

That is not possible within Views plugin,since Views plugin is using WP_Query to query posts data, each view will trigger the WP_Query independently, so each view's query will be sorted differently.

You can add a feature request for it:

You might consider custom codes, you can check our Toolset Contractors for it:

Thank you Luo Yang.

I have added a feature request as I believe this would be really useful as you currently cannot have more than one post relationship query or filter within a View.
