The order feature (ascending/descending) seems to be working fine with the test suite.
It is accessible in the widget ("Order": "Ascending" or "Descending") or in the shortcode ("order=ASC" or "order=DESC").

Could you please state the version of LCP you are using?
Have you tried de-activating every single plugin you have?

[Showcase-Joz]

na, not that simple

[catlist id=49 customfield_display='lesson_time' customfield_display_name='no' template=table instance=3 orderby=title order=ASC numberposts=99 pagination=yes excerpt=yes excerpt_strip=no]"

just updated to latest version too!

i am to still use a plugins folder in the theme folder for adding the template to? ...[childtheme]/plugins/list-catergory-posts/table.php

[bibz]

Can you attach your template too?
I am not sure that the template feature has been fixed, what happens when you use the default template?

Is the content in the right order with the default template?

PS: you should re-activate the plugin on your example website.

[Showcase-Joz]

did you change the template content order?

i installed the plugin at something like v0.56, altered the template to suit and left it. all working just fine. the only thing i could attribute a potential issue to is a reorder plugin that might have affected the direction of order :/

just to elaborate a little, there are three uses of your plugin in the one site....with the latter two working just fine

No, not that I am aware of.
I can only stress you to test the shortcode with increasing feature and then report the results here.
For instance:

• [catlist id=49 orderby=date order=ASC]
• [catlist id=49 orderby=date order=DESC]
• [catlist id=49 orderby=date order=ASC customfield_display='lesson_time' customfield_display_name='no']
• [catlist id=49 orderby=date order=DESC customfield_display='lesson_time' customfield_display_name='no']

Can be closed. The shortcode shared by @Showcase-Joz seems to be working just fine. No problems with order by title.
