* I need the plugin to sort the search results/archive pages based on price. In
AgentPress pro, price information is handled through custom field. It does not
appear that way with this plugin.
* How do we sort results?

* The price is in a custom field on each individual listing. However to sort by
price would require some logic to be built into the archive page that would remove
dollar signs and commas from the price then sort. You may want to contact a developer
to write that code for you.

* I recoded the archive listing theme template page to convert a copy of the price
field to integer, and sort by status alphabetically then by price in descending
order. See it below. This works for me because I only plan to use Active, Contingent,
Pending and Sold statuses in that order, alphabetically. If you wanted to do
more like filtering out SOLD or doing a different sort order, you’d have to change
the code here. Keep in mind this is hard coded to the display output, so if you
wanted to be able to change things dynamically via the settings, you would have
to do more coding to the plugin.
