[Resolved] Sorting of Taxonomy Term Filters is not working

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I am using the orderby option to control the order of terms in a custom search filter, but the order isn't working correctly.

Solution: In this case another plugin is affecting the order of terms in the term filter. It must be disabled.

Hello,

I'm using the following shortcode:
[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="pa_species" type="checkboxes" url_param="wpv-pa_species" orderby="name" order="desc"]

The orderby name attribute does not seem to be working, since the terms are not in order on the front-end, please see attached screenshot. Here is the front-end page that the view is on:

Here is the view from the screenshot:

Thank you!

Hi, I'd like to take a closer look and see how this is setup. Can you provide the HTTP authentication information here? I received the WordPress login credentials but not the basic auth credentials for the wpengine site.

I can see you have this plugin active at the Network Level:
- Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order

If you disable this plugin for the site, is the order of terms behaving more like you'd expect?

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
