 * We have a website with many post types, however we only want to manually order
   one post type. We selected the options to hide the ordering for all cpt’s except
   the one we want, but the other post types on the front end seem to be ordered
   also.
 * Here’s a screenshot of the query

 * Is there a way to only have it affect one post type?
 * Thanks

 * BTW, I am using the Search and Filter plugin if that affects anything.

 * Hi,
   The best approach for this, would be to disable the AutoSort function and
   include a `'orderby' => 'menu_oder'` within queries where the sorting is required
   to apply. You can also try to disable other plugins to ensure nothing interferes
   with this. Alternatively, consider the Advanced Post Types Order plugin, which
   uses a different approach—sorting is applied only when the query’s sort arguments
   match the plugin settings.Thanks
