I’ve released two new plugins for CaRP Evolution this week: One for podcasts and one for sorting.

The podcast plugin uses the 1 Pixel Out Audio Player (which is a WordPress plugin, but can be used without WordPress) to display Flash-powered MP3 audio players for each podcast. You can see an example on the podcast plugin’s documentation page.

The sorting plugin provides a few built-in functions for things like sorting by date (either ascending or descending), sorting by any text element in the feed (such as the title or description … ascending or descending), and shuffling the items in random order. It also enables the use of custom sorting functions and things like sorting a Slashdot feed by the number of comments on each story. Documentation and examples can be found here.

Both plugins are free with purchase of CaRP Evolution.
