Hey!
I've also discovered some problems with the sorting option. I'd like to use the portfolio page to show some videos (all host on a vimeo plus account), some of them are just 4 fun projects while other ones are made for clients. So i've two portfolio categories signed to the different portfolio entries. So far, so good. I've set up my page and trashed all the demo data that i'd imported before. I've selected the 2 col. sortable portfolio but no sort options appear. Today i played around with some of the options and reimported the demo data once again = the sort options appear. But now i've all the demo content in my portfolio, so i tried two things:
1. deleted all the demo content again = sort options disappear
2. imported everthing again, under portfolio options i've set up my two categories to show up and leave out all the rest, then i've set all the demo content to "css" e.g. (while all my portfolio content have the two cat. that should show up) = sort options disappear
So i would like to use the portfolio sortoptions with my own two categories while all the demo content is deleted. That seems not possible right now? May be you have any tipps for me?
