 * Hello,
 * the GET parameter “orderby” seems to cause issues on my WordPress page since 
   I get a 404 error when this specific parameter is used.
 * If I change the parameter in the URL to something else like “orderby2” the correct
   page is loading and the 404 error doesn’t occur anymore (of course sorting is
   not working anymore then).
 * After some research on the web I found the following page which states that you
   shouldn’t use some specific terms as GET parameter (including “orderby”):
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Reserved_Terms](https://codex.wordpress.org/Reserved_Terms)
 * Is there a possibility to rename this parameter without touching the plugin code?
   Do you plan to rename that parameter to be compliant with the WordPress Codex?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hello
 * No! You got it wrong! If I change this value then it will not sort the products–
   that’s the point.
 * To test disable this plugin(filter) and try native woocommerce sort – [https://c2n.me/3YjJOwT.png](https://c2n.me/3YjJOwT.png)
 * I think that the reason for this behavior on the site is a conflict with a third-
   party plugin.
 * You can drop me exact link to the issue I will check it.
