@pdclark Thank you very much for the detailed reply! It seems you are correct that [each] cannot be ordered in the Pod Templates. 🙁
But… the drag-n-drop ordering does drive the [each] order, which is sort of OK, but in this case, I want my workflow to maintain the unit chapters with the unit, but I’ll live.
It looks like I can activate full short-code handling in my Pod Templates with the following code in my wp-config.php? :
define(‘PODS_SHORTCODE_ALLOW_SUB_SHORTCODES’, true);
…and then I can put a pods shortcode into a pods template?
At some point I should probably just model my own data in PHP.
Thank you again for your help, @pdclark
