# Include / Exclude not working

 * Hello Mauro,
 * I’m testing your NGG Powertags Plugin for my portfolio (I downgraded my NGG to
   version 19.9.13), and it looks pretty awesome. The only problem so far is that
   I can’t seem to get the include / exclude attributes to work, nothing whatsoever
   happens when I try to use them.
    Which is a shame because I’d really need to 
   use the “include” attribute to sort my tags, the alphabetical sorting just won’t
   do.
 * Here’s the page, in case it helps to look at it: [http://www.artilstudio.com/test-page/](http://www.artilstudio.com/test-page/)
 * Do you know what might be causing the issue?
 * Thanks a lot,
    Artil

 * Hi Marc/Janina,
 *  I should see how the pics are tagged and to be honest I don’t remember very 
   well how does it works 🙂
    Anyway, what is the shortcode you are using and how
   the pics are tagged (just a few examples are enough)?

 * Hi Mauro,
 * thanks for the quick answer! I just tried to write the tags all in quotes (like
   you suggested here in your third post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-sorting-issue](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-sorting-issue))
   and now _something_ happens, but not quite what’s supposed to happen.
 * What I wrote was:
    [nggpowertags gallery=1 tagmenu_sep=” │ ” include=”Children’s
   book,Cartoon,Editorial,Digital,Traditional,Janina Görrissen,Marc Rueda”]
 * And for some strange reason, it now shows:
    Traditional │ Janina Görrissen │ 
   Children’s book │ Digital │ Marc Rueda │ Cartoon │ Editorial
 * Which is neither alphabetical nor the order I wrote above. So strange…
 * Thanks again,
    Janina

 * Hi Janina,
 * ok I saw what happened. Give me a couple of days to take the time for looking
   deeper at this.
 * Cheers!
