 * Hello,
    I have a slight issue that is regarding the order of the question in 
   an specific group: First the language I use is Arabic, the plug in seems to sort
   the question Alphabetically, even if I tried to order the questions through the
   order field in the quick edit feature from the WP CP it seems that the Alphabetically
   ordering override the order from the wordpress.
 * Any idea what I can do to bypass the Alphabetically ordering and order the question
   ordering to my logic.
 * thanks
    best regards

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for using my plugin. When you use the “order” field in the FAQ creation
   screen, make sure you are choosing that order when you create your FAQ
 *     ```
       [faq orderby=menu_order]
       ```

 * hmmmmm , didn’t get your point.
    What you mean exactly by choosing that order
   while I’m creating the, I already created the Question.
 * 1-what I did I tried to modify the order of this question, so I used the quick
   edit and input the order number of the question, for example if I want it to 
   be question number 5, I put 5 in the order field.
 * 2- didn’t get the point of [faq orderby=menu_order], did you mean that I shall
   use it as a short code in the page where the FAQs should appear?

 * 1. That’s fine, but if you use the “order” field you must specify that in your
   shortcode (see 2)
    2. Yes, sorry about the confusion. If you want to use something
   other than the default sort (which is alphabetical), you have to specify the `
   orderby` attribute. In your case if you want to use the “order” field you need
   to set the `orderby` to `menu_order` on the page you display your FAQs.
 * Does that make more sense?
