    - Installed and activated plug-in
    - Selected custom post type to reorder
    - Reordered custom post entries.
    - On page template, created custom WP_Query with order set to menu_order
 * Loading the page still results in the default “DESC” order. I’ve also tried using
   the override option in the plug-in settings page, but still returns the default
   order.
 * Any ideas on what it is I’m surely doing wrong?

 * In your query, make sure you are setting the `orderby` argument to `menu_order`
   and then `order` to `ASC` or `DESC`.
 * If that still hasn’t resolved it, you may want to search your site’s code (plugin
   and theme) for any `pre_get_posts` arguments that are inadvertently modifying
   your query using a filter.
