 * Hey xnau,
 * Running into a small problem with the list shortcode.
 * [pdb_list search=true sort=true orderby=date order=desc]
 * This works fine, but the trouble is that the order=desc is not automatically 
   filled into the search form. This means that when the page is loaded, the order
   is fine, but when a search is performed, it will ‘forget’ the order unless one
   is specifically entered.
 * Once it has been manually entered, you can perform as many searches as you want,
   it will never forget. But the first search…
 * Somehow, the shortcode should generate the search form and preselect ascending/
   descending based on the shortcode parameters.
