Shortcode Content Being Placed Out Of DOM Order

Sorry – couldn’t reopen the original thread! (https://kriesi.at/support/topic/shortcode-content-being-placed-out-of-dom-order/)

The output works for HTML content, but I’m not sure how to use it to produce a loop through wp query.

Example code:

function test_shortcode() {

$output = $featured_post_query;

// WP_Query arguments
$args = array (
	'category_name'          => 'featured',
);

// The Query
$featured_post_query = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
if ( $featured_post_query->have_posts() ) {
	while ( $featured_post_query->have_posts() ) {
		$featured_post_query->the_post();
		the_title();
	}
} else {
	// no posts found
}

// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();

return $output;
}

add_shortcode( 'shortcode', 'test_shortcode' );

Thanks in advance!
