Hi all,
A Lot of people have been asking if there really is going to be a smart sort V2 the short answer is, YES!
I’m current putting in close to 16 hours a day on the new version of the plugin and it’s coming along nicely. I thought I’d release a few screen shots to show some of what we’re doing.
Once complete the plugin will feature 3 functions:
- Sorting posts on Category, Tag, Archive and Search pages
- Filtering posts based on user criteria on the above pages
- Allow for creation of advanced search form
Why all 3? Why not just sort. The reason is that in order for the sort to work how I wanted I have to create an index table for WordPress and this means more possibilities that I really want to make the most of. I’ve considered releasing separate plugins for this, but since it seems I’m not going to release this as open source ;-( but rather for a small fee I figure the complete package will be quite a draw card for many WP developers.

Looks good! I think this plugin will be downloaded a lot.
Sounds great!
Looks perfect for what I need. I have reviews on my site with ratings from 0-5 (using custom fields), it would be great to be able to sort by this!
I look forward to it’s release, thanks for the hard work!
