Not sorting Custom Post Categories

I am using a custom post “news-events” and the category view “events” does not order the posts, while the main post view does. My manual fix for this was:

add_action('pre_get_posts','alter_query');
function alter_query($query) {
	global $wp_query;
	if (
		isset($wp_query->query['news-events-category'])
		&& in_array($wp_query->query['news-events-category'], array('news','events'))
		&& !is_admin()
	):
		$query->set('orderby' ,'menu_order');
		$query->set('order' ,'ASC');
	endif;
}

I was wondering if an official fix could be implemented into the plugin though?
