 * It’s called “Post Types Order”
 * Here is the URL:
    [http://www.nsp-code.com/wordpress-plugins/post-types-order/](http://www.nsp-code.com/wordpress-plugins/post-types-order/)
 * It’s actually kind of handy because you can rearrange the order of posts easily
   without changing the date on them, but it’s not something I need. I would rather
   have your Testimonials plugin work properly.
 * I guess it just overrides the other order functions built into WordPress / other
   plugins.

 * You know what, after banging my head against the wall all day, I just figured
   it out:
 * I had another plugin that was interacting with it called “Post Types Order” that
   let’s you drag and drop to re-order posts. I thought it was just for blog posts,
   but apparently it affected the Testimonials as well.
 * I deactivated that other plugin and the problem is solved.
 * Thanks for the help, I guess that’s one more thing to troubleshoot if people 
   are having a similar problem.

 * I actually can’t get any order commands to work through the shortcode.
 * I’ll show you what I mean:
    None of the following shortcodes will make the widget
   or the list go in any different order other than what I manually specified through
   the Testimonials WordPress interface. (I’ve tried each independently as well 
   as different combinations.)
 *     ```
       [testimonialswidget_widget category=short random=true]
       [testimonialswidget_widget category=short random=false]
       [testimonialswidget_widget category=short order=asc]
       [testimonialswidget_widget category=short order=desc]
       [testimonialswidget_widget category=short orderby=rand]
       [testimonialswidget_widget category=short orderby=none]
       ```
