On settings page you can select posts/pages and taxonomies to enable sorting.

Yes, you can sort. And there is a shortcode to list users under taxonomy, terms and children. [WPSO_USERS slug="taxonomy or term slug" id="taxonomy or term id"]. This shortcode will list users on front-end with your sorted order. No need to write another query for it.

Sub query By using the 'WP_Query', you can re-override the parameters. WP_Query 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', ) ) ?> Main query By using the 'pre_get_posts' action hook or 'query_posts()', you can re-override the parameters. pre_get_posts function my_filter( $query ) { if ( is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query() ) return; if ( is_home() ) { $query->set( 'orderby', 'date' ); $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' ); return; } } add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_filter' ); query_posts() 'rand' ) ); ?>
