LoopSort & LoopSort Pro documentation

Everything you need to sort, filter and re-order the Elementor Pro Loop Grid and Loop Carousel by custom fields: installation, every setting explained, the visitor Sort Control widget, caching, troubleshooting and developer hooks. This guide covers LoopSort (free) and LoopSort Pro version 1.2.2.

Note: Features marked (Pro) need LoopSort Pro. Everything else works with the free LoopSort plugin from WordPress.org.
