I have a view of home floor plans that is set to order by a custom field for square feet, but it's not sorting correctly.

Weird thing is, my local copy of the site was sorting correctly at one time, with version 1.5.3... However, when I downgraded our staging site to this version, it's still showing the wrong order.

Hi,

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

To troubleshoot this, I'll need to see how this view is set up in the admin area.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, in reply to this message?

Note: Your next reply will be private and it is recommended to make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar

Thank you for sharing the admin access.

During troubleshooting, I noticed that a third-party plugin "Post Types Order" is affecting the order of posts in general on your website.

If you'll go to WP Admin -> Settings -> Post Types Order and uncheck the option "Auto Sort", you'll see that the results will be ordered by the 'sq-ft-from' field, as expected.

Thanks Waqar! I wish I'd thought about that plugin as being in conflict with Views. Good job!
