This is my first review ever: Thank you for this plugin - this was exactly what I was looking for. Does the job perfectly. 🙂 One suggestion: It would be great if I could add reusable blocks into it. Thanks again!

Thanks Taras - love the new plugin and works perfectly on my website page for media snippets, especially when adding in new media entries that maybe older and it then automatically sorts it into date ascending/descending.
