    Hi, is there any more documentation on this?

    I am unsure what you are asking Dann. Could you elaborate for me?

    Hi, I want my sort order to be ordered by popularity. The more popular the post the higher up it appears…

    How do you decide which post is popular? Do you have a plugin that has ranking? In which case, there should be meta data attached to the posts that has this in, and S&F Pro can sort by this meta key.

    Hi, I thought I would update this thread with the solution I have found:

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-track-popular-posts-by-views-in-wordpress-without-a-plugin/

    … adding this adds a numeric ‘post view counter’ in the custom fields.

    this can then be selected as:
    Sort By:
    Meta Value > Meta Value Key > wpb_track_post_views (Sort type: numeric)

    this works a treat. Make sure to visit the pages/posts though as the numeric data doesnt kick into the pages/ posts until they are viewed at least once and results in a 0 display result if they have never been viewed since implmenting the page count!

    : )
