    I am using template Excerpt 3.0.1 and Connections 8.1.7 on WP 4.1.

    I need to sort on first name on each category. I have constructed the shortcode as such: [connections category='5'order_by='first_name|SORT_ASC']

    When I have the category element it will not sort by first name and reverts to last name. When I remove the category element it sorts correctly on first name.

    Edit the page with the shortcode, switch the page editor to the Text tab. Remove any HTML or other text from around and within the shortcode and then update the page.

    Also, make sure you have a space in between category='5' and order_by='first_name|SORT_ASC'. The code pasted above was missing the space.

    [connections category='5' order_by='first_name|SORT_ASC']

    Hope that helps, let me know.
