## Description

Cherry Pick for Query Loop extends the core Query Loop block with a post picking
feature. Select specific posts and display them in any order you choose.

#### Features

 * Pick specific posts to display in Query Loop block
 * Search and select posts by title
 * Display posts in your selected order
 * Respects Query Loop filters (parent, category, keyword, etc.)
 * Works with any post type
 * Fully compatible with block themes

#### How it works

 1. Add a Query Loop block to your page
 2. In the block settings sidebar, find the “Pick Posts” panel
 3. Search and select posts from the dropdown
 4. Posts will be displayed in the order you selected
 5. To return to default behavior, simply remove all selected posts

Note: When posts are selected, sorting and sticky post settings are ignored.

## FAQ

### Does this work with custom post types?

you’ll get 4 pages.

### Can I use filters with post picking?

Yes, the post picker respects Query Loop filter settings (parent page, category,
keyword, etc.). Only posts matching the filters will appear in the search dropdown.
