 * Does anyone know if it’s possible to sort the testimonials? In other words, I’d
   like to display them in the order they were created, but in descending order.
   
   Thanks! Cameron

 * I’m keen for this functionality too, but none of the ‘usual’ orderby and order
   commands work within the shortcode – hopefully it’s simple enough to implement.

 * Hey guys –
 * With version 1.7.6, the following Order options are supported via the shortcode:
 * Acceptable attributes for ‘order’ are ‘ASC’ and ‘DESC’.
    Acceptable attributes
   for ‘orderby’ are ‘none’,’ID’,’author’,’title’,’name’,’date’,’modified’,’parent’,
   and ‘rand’.
 * For example:
    `[testimonials order=DESC orderby=date]` will achieve what you 
   want, cway.
 * I hope that helps!
 * Best,
    Richard

 * A note when using the shortcode generator, if you choose ‘Random’ the generator
   outputs orderby=’random’ which does not work. However, changing to orderby=’rand’
   manually fixes the problem.

 * Thanks for the note, usujason!
 * We have a patch scheduled today and this should be squeezed in.
 * Best,
    Richard
