Section titled “Block attributes”The Modern Courses block exposes a subset in the editor: per_page, columns, show_filters, show_search, and show_reviews. Use the shortcode when you need any of the other attributes.
orderbyis passed through to WordPress, so standardWP_Queryvalues work. The on-screen sort control offers newest, oldest, title A-Z, and title Z-A.- Progress and enrollment filters apply to the logged-in user viewing the page.
