Sorting is behaving weird

In one of my client’s site, with a custom theme, I installed Ultimate Posts Widget, and it seems it’s performing the best, I ever got.

But only problem I got is the sorting…
Somehow it’s not saving what I’m choosing in the Widgets page.
I checked var_dump($r) (the WP_Query of the plugin), it’s always taking some default values – from where God knows:

orderby = title
order = ASC

I know may be it’s not the plugin’s bug, but a bug of my own theme,
I just want a suggestion from you what might be the cause of such weird behavior?

Here’s my setting is: http://prntscr.com/33x69m
But always, it’s sorting with Title and ordering ASC.

Is there any db table where you’re saving your data?
