    Hi,

    I am using the theme “blackbird”, and I have the rating system set up for comments only.

    I also have the setting “Order comments” turned on, however it does not work for me.The order does not change, even when the second comment has more upvotes than the first one.

    What could be causing this?

    Hello,
    I see this is marked as resolved, but the sorting by likes/dislikes is not working for me.
    I tried it on a fresh WP 4.5.1 install, with twentysixteen as a theme, and no other active plugins.

    I looked through the plugin’s code s bit and I couldn’t find where you set how the query var ‘orderby’ gets interpreted when it is equal to ‘likes’ or ‘dislikes’.
    Did I miss something in the code? Is this implemented in a different way?

    I tried a fix, that seems to work (add the code to functions.php)

    function vortex_system_column_orderby( $vars ) {
	if ( isset( $vars['orderby'] ) ) {
		if( 'likes' == $vars['orderby'] ) {
			$vars = array_merge( $vars, array(
				'meta_key' => 'vortex_system_likes',
				'orderby' => 'meta_value_num'
			) );
		} elseif ( 'dislikes' == $vars['orderby'] ) {
			$vars = array_merge( $vars, array(
				'meta_key' => 'vortex_system_dislikes',
				'orderby' => 'meta_value_num'
			) );
		}
	}

	return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'request', 'vortex_system_column_orderby' );
