 * Hi there,
    I want to delete the plugin in phpmyadmin structure, please can you
   tell me exactly what files I need to delete?
 * The plugin did something wrong and I can not fix it with the normal way.
 * Thanks a lot

 * Hello, if you want to manually remove the plugin data, make sure you first deactivate
   it. Mostly, post_sorter is writing in post_meta table with key defined in the
   main file:
 * `define( 'POST_SORTER_META_KEY', 'post_sorter_order' );`
 * So you can remove with phpMyAdmin all meta where key is `post_sorter_order`.
 * The plugin writes in options as well, where it stores the desired behavior selected
   in settings screen.
 * The keys of the options are:
    - post_sorter_custom_type
    - post_sorter_enabled
    - post_sorter_no_admin_sort
    - post_sorter_direction
    - post_sorter_enabled_roles
 * All the options and meta values are with prefix `post_sorter_`, followed by their
   ID, so you can search for such options.
 * However, I would not suggest removing this by hand, since WordPress stores its
   own plugin data (for active plugins) in own options (WordPress core-specific 
   ones), which may differ in different versions.
 * You can use Delete/Remove plugin after you deactivate it, this will clean you
   database.
 * Regards
