Hi, it already works on the front end. If “Auto Apply Sort” is checked in Settings > Post Types Order, the Query Loop block shows your custom order to visitors.
Only the preview inside the editor still shows the posts by date. The editor loads that preview with a date order request, and the plugin leaves requests with their own order alone. So the editor preview and the live page can look different.
With Auto Apply Sort on, your custom order always comes first, and the “Order by” setting of the Query Loop block only decides the order of posts that have the same position.
Can you check the published page while logged out, with any page cache cleared? It should already be in your custom order there.

Hi,
Thanks, @softglaze , for the detailed response. This matches the behavior I observed during my own tests as well.
@paullb, if you’re still experiencing issues, please make sure you’re using the latest plugin version. If the problem persists, it may be caused by a conflict with another plugin or custom code. To investigate, try temporarily deactivating the other plugins and switching to a default WordPress theme to see whether the issue is resolved.
Thanks
