 * We have set a custom order for pages using the ‘order’ field built into wordpress.
   Is it possible to use this to order the list?
    I’ve tried ‘sort_by=”order”‘ but
   it hasn’t done anything. I’m using the pro version of the plugin.

 * Hi,
 * I’m really sorry for the delay getting back to you. At the moment, ordering is
   limited to the columns used in the table (e.g. ‘title’, ‘date’, etc) so page 
   ordering set in the admin is not supported. However, there should be an option
   for this so I’ll add it to the next version of Posts Table Pro. Will keep you
   posted…

 * Hi brimfulof,
 * Just to let you know that the new version of the Pro plugin includes support 
   for sorting by the ‘order’ field built into WordPress. Add `sort_by="menu_order"`
   to your shortcode. See the [documentation](https://barn2.co.uk/our-wordpress-plugins/posts-table-pro-documentation/#sort)
   for details.
