                  Does this work with WooCommerce HPOS?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  Can I sort by both category and tag?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  Yes, you can set a unique order for each category and each tag, independently.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                  What if I use another sorting plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  This plugin applies its sorting logic with very high priority (priority 9999), so it will override most other plugins on category and tag archives.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                  Is it translation ready?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  Yes, all strings are translatable and a POT file is included.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
