 * Further to a previous enquiry I have used the search_fields option to specify
   what is viewable in the drop-down menu. My shortcode was as follows.
 * [pdb_list template=”flexbox” sort=”true” search=”true” search_fields=”boat_model,
   build_year,boat_length,price” fields=”boat_photo,boat_model,boat_name,boat_length”]
 * I then thought that there might be a similar function for the sort fields and
   so I included sort_fields=”build_year,price” into the shortcode. Unfortunately
   it didn’t work. Is there such a similar routine which would allow me to specify
   what options are available in that drop-down menu using the sort option.
 * Thanks

 * This is in the documentation, you can use multiple fields to do the sort.
