• I love the simplicity of post sorter. It is easy for me to explain to my users who are posting to my website (http://www.mitchell150.com). However, I have one small problem that I’d like to know if there is a way around. On the site, we have pages that host posts associated to them by categories (for example, we have a Communities page and a Communities post category). We are using the posts to populate the pages.

    Post Sorter is letting us arrange the posts on a one-by-one basis (which is good) but some of our posts appear in more than one category (and therefore on more than one page) and we are using different criteria to sort the items. For example, on the communities page, the posts are organized alphabetically, while on the History page, we are sorting the posts by when they happened in history. I noticed that Post Sorter provides the option of assigning each post one order number, and I need to be able to assign the order numbers within each category. For example, Tipton Hill appears at the number 13 position on the communities page, but I need it to appear in the number 3 position on the history page.

    The way I have accomplished this at the moment was to set up Tipton Hill at number 13 in communities, then go to the history listings and start the number for the posts that should appear under it as 14, 15, etc. The problem is that these posts under the Tipton Hill post at number 13 on the History page will have other pages that they are associated with and the numbers I have assigned to them to appear correctly on the history page will cause problems on those pages.

    Is there a way to use Post Sorter to order each post category individually so that the posts show up in the correct order on the pages that are hosting each category, understanding that the order number for the post could be very different between pages?

    Thank you for your help!
