It doesnt work well with Elementor

Hi,
I understand what you mean, keep in mind that, when using the AutoSort, the customized order apply everywhere on the front side. If you want for the order to apply only when using the menu_order argument, you should disable the Autosort, see how the menu_order should be included int he query argument, unless there’s a visual option for this https://www.nsp-code.com/advanced-post-types-order-api/sample-usage/

Additionally, you can use the pto/posts_orderby/ignore filter, when Autosort is active, to selectively apply or not the orders, for certain queries.

Or consider the advanced plugin version, which includes a Conditional option that makes the order possible to apply only on certain sections of your site. https://www.nsp-code.com/advanced-post-types-order-description-and-usage/using-conditionals-for-sorting-apply/

Thanks

Thanks!
