Views 2.3.1 introduces several improvements on the front-end sorting controls and fixes some bugs.

Frontend Sorting Controls improvements

Views 2.3.1 includes some incremental improvements for the front-end sorting controls introduced in 2.3.

For example, now it is possible to set a sorting direction along with a sorting option, so every time someone decided to sort by, say, post date, the results default to displaying the new posts first.

Also, we improved the dialog for inserting the sorting controls. Now, the first control option is always in sync with the stored Views ordering settings.

Finally, we extended the labeling options, so each sorting option can force a different set of labels on the sorting direction control. This way, when sorting by post title you can offer the directions A to Z or Z to A, but when sorting by post date you can offer the Newer first or Older first directions.

Learn all about this, and more, on the page about using the front-end sorting controls.

Other improvements

Views 2.3.1 introduces some customization attributes for the pagination shortcodes, along with some bug fixes.
