Tell us what you are trying to do?
Edit the names of the default order dropdowns like the addional ordering options. Does this need to be done via a function or code? I can't see any editable options. Currently says 'Post type' 'Ascending'

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No

Is there a similar example that we can see?
The addional sorting options below the default have fields to change the labels

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To change the label of the default "order by" option ( in this case "Post type"), you can add its option under the "Sorting Options", as shown in the attached screenshot.

regards,
Waqar
