    I made a change to enable Auto Count and to remove the secondary sort. Can you check it again now?

    The alphabetisation works now. Great, thanks.

    What about the other issue? Directing an empty search?

    Redirecting an empty search is not a feature of the pro plugin, as the plugin is far more complex.

    It IS possible to use PHP to detect if a search has been made though, like this:

    global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1024)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
  // your VC template archive code/loop here
}

    Is it possible to show all results when an empty search is made?

    Does it not do that anyway? It should.

    I realised that it was a WordPress setting I had to only show 10. Thanks for your help.

    Sorry, results are still appearing in order of date.

    That means that your theme is modifying the sort order of the query, possibly by using pre_get_posts(), maybe in the template.
