    Hello!
    I’ve made a search form with two dropdowns – each one with their own custom taxonomy. Both are made with the taxonomy-field in the Search Form UI. I’ve tried with the Order terms by under Advanced settings for the field, but without any changes to the dropdown – it looks like it defaults to creation date instead of any of the options selected.

    Settings:
    General: Custom post type, auto submit form enabled.
    Display results: using a shortcode.
    I think those are the relevant settings.

    The problem is this plugin (and all plugins of this type that allow drag and drop reordering of taxonomies or posts):

    Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order

    I have deactivated it for you.

    They typically use the WordPress pre_get_posts() function and thus override our filter settings.

    I then set the sort order for that field back to default.

    Alright, I’ll be deleting that plugin then – thanks for your help 🙂
