@l-in-j – There is no specific option to sort by title, nor anything specifically addressing the sort order in such a fashion but since BNS Featured Category essentially uses a standard “loop” to display the posts that meed the query created by the options you should be able to use the bnsfc_query hook to completely over-write the query in general.
I added the hook just in case someone wanted an option that was not, or may not, be added to the plugin … it would seem you have provided a justification for that Mallory-Everest bit of code. Thanks!!
You may have to do a bit of code tracing but if you follow the logic you will see all the items within the plugin’s widget() method … just look at the $query_args statements to see what you may or may not want to put into your new WP_Query call.
Thanks, again!
