Hi Rob
I can see the issue you have.
Basically, those taxonomy sorting options are built into WP, we just provide a UI for them.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_term_query/__construct/
We ask WP for the terms associated with a taxonomy, and send an
order
parameter.This order, based on count, is the total number of posts in those terms.
If you disable the S&F setting
auto count
which replaces those numbers with dynamic counts based on the current query, you’ll be able to see the logic of how it works.I hadn’t even considered the possibility of an integration here, but it makes perfect sense 🙂
I’m sticking this on the todo list for v3, for now its not something we support fully I’m afraid.
Thanks
