 * I have several custom post types, and I call a list of each using a custom loop
   on a template. One type is Employees, and I’d like to sort by last name. Would
   this plugin work for a custom WP_Query loop, for a custom post type?

 * I didn’t, I ended up adding a metadata field called lastName. On save, the last
   work in the Title field is placed in the lastName field and saved, and I use 
   that metadata to sort.
