Hello and thanks for trying the plugin. No, there is no order control setting—but the reviews should be newest-to-oldest by default. Are they not on your site? I will add an order-by feature to permit various ordering options in an upcoming release and update this ticket when it is available.
After looking into the issue, I believe there is a bug with the sort order parameter (“orderby”) in Zillow’s API implementation, which powers the plugin. Zillow transitioned to a new API provider, Bridge, about six months ago, and I have troubleshot other issues with their support teams since then. In testing, the orderby parameter causes the API call to return an error, even when using example inputs that Bridge provides in their API Explorer. Therefore, I opened a support ticket with Bridge and hope to issue an update in the coming week after discussing it with them. Thank you for reporting this issue.
Hello, This bug should be fixed with reviews correctly sorted by date (newest first) in the latest version, 1.5.3. Please update to version 1.5.3 and let me know if you have any problems. Thanks again.
