    I’m still having issues with sorting my event list.
    No matter which variation of shortcode I use, the most recent(active) event is not coming to the top of the list. In addition, the event widget is also sorting incorrectly (related issue?)

    http://69.89.31.173/~icajapan/

    I have tried:

    [EVENT_LIST order_by=date(start_date) show_expired=true]
[EVENT_LIST order_by=date(end_date) show_expired=true]
[EVENT_LIST order_by=date(registration_start) show_expired=true]

    Could you help me out with this please?
    Would it help if I give you access to take a look?

    Hi Michael,

    This has been an issue, that is now resolved in the latest version (3.1.27). As per the changelog

    adds new “sort” parameter to EVENT_LIST shortcode e.g. [EVENT_LIST
    category_identifier=”test-cat-1″ show_recurrence=”true”
    order_by=date(start_date),id sort=DESC]

      Dean, sorry to be a bother but even with the new sort parameter the events are still being listed from oldest to newest.

      <code>[EVENT_LIST show_expired=true order_by=date(start_date),id sort=DESC]</code>

      If I gave you access, cold you take a look at it for me?

      The password you sent in the form isn’t working. Can you resend it?

        I see that you’ve moved your event_list.php and event_list_display.php — can you try renaming those files or moving them out of the /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates directory and see if the sort order works?

          It works Chris! Thanks for your patience.
          I seem to have the same problem with the widget but I’ll open a separate ticket for that.

          As reference to others who are reading this, I used the following code [EVENT_LIST show_expired=true order_by=date(start_date) sort=DESC]

            Hi, I’m having the same issue here, but when I rename my event_list.php and event_list_display.php my template changes aren’t applied anymore.

            If I move these files out of /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates, where should I move them to keep my template changes?

            I also tried Michael’s code, which is not working.

              Sorry, I just thought about this now, but should I open a new ticket instead? :) Do let me know!

                Hi Ginger,

                If you made a few changes to the event_list_display.php and event_list.php templates, you can re-apply the changes to the new version of Event Espresso’s templates. Then copy these over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates. We recommend using a tool like diffmerge to compare the files. It also helps to use a consistent comment block where you make changes, so you can find them quickly.

                  Hi Josh,

                  I don’t quite follow. I have the latest version of EE at the moment (3.1.27.1). And I have been editing the template files in /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates.

                  When you say “re-apply the changes to the new version fo Event Espresso’s templates” do you mean editing the template files in /plugins/event-espresso/templates?

                  Thanks for the response!

                    Hi Ginger,

                    You could do it that way. It might help to explain that Event Espresso looks for templates in /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates first. If it doesn’t find them there, it looks in /plugins/event-espresso/templates.

                    So as an example, if you copied over the templates from version 3.1.26 into /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates, and then you update to 3.1.27.1, your templates will be out of sync. The changes need to be synced somehow. One way to do this is by directly editing the template files in /plugins/event-espresso/templates, then copy them over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates.

                    Another way to do this is compare the templates in the core plugin to what’s in /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates, and copy over the updates from the core plugin templates to the templates in /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates.

                      Oh I see. Got it. I was under the impression that the plugin looked at /plugins/event-espresso/templates BEFORE /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates.

                      Works great now!

                      Count this issue double-resolved!

                      Thanks Josh!
