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
