Hi,
Thank you very much for all the details!
The issue was due to the difference in the auto populate & the search configuration. The auto populate was enabled for the latest results, which overrides the default ordering on the page load. The reset then triggers the regular search, which then returns different results.
Since you added the back-end details, I have made the following adjustments:
– Changed the auto-populate to an empty phrase, thus itt does not override the odering: https://i.imgur.com/0tXD4dX.png
– Changed the regular results limit to 60, just like the auto populate: https://i.imgur.com/bFTvoiF.png
I also kept the reset button visible for now.
Now, the plugin should return the exact same results as on the initial page load.
