    Hi Keesie,

    First of all thank you so much for this wonderful plugin. Unlike other plugins I tried, yours works like a charm!

    I am trying to sort my custom posts based on the latest related post date. The related posts are set up to link certain post types that share the same tag.
    I have 4 different post types and the related posts are only shown on the posts of one custom post type, but the data is pulled from all custom post types.

    What i want to achieve is to sort the custom post type posts that include the related posts shortcode by the latest date of the related post. So if for instance I post a topic today and insert a tag to an older post, the older post must be moved up to the top on the overall custom post type page.

    I also use the essential grid plugin for this custom post type and this allows me to sort posts by custom meta’s as well.

    I use do_shortcode to implement the related posts.

    Thanks!

    Hi norover

    I don’t understand this part

    So if for instance I post a topic today and insert a tag to an older post, the older post must be moved up to the top on the overall custom post type page.

    Can you explain a little bit more

    Hi Keesie,

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Basically what I want is to have the related post field control the order of the posts within one custom post type. If a new article is posted with a matching tag, the post with a new related link will be moved up to the top.

    Instead of having posts ordered by date, comments etc, I want them to be ordered based on the last related post. The post that includes the most recent link will be moved to the top.

    Hope it is a bit more clear now.

    Thanks!
