Change the order of the Table View events.

Hello,

I was wondering if there was an easy way to change the order of the Table View events. For example, right now I have 4 events up:

Event 1
Event 2
Event 3
Event 4

But I would like it to be:

Event 4
Event 1
Event 2
Event 3

Thanks!

Hi Alexander, a custom sort option on a per-event basis is not available at this time. However, there are some options for sorting that could be used to change the default sort by:

Could you share a link to the page that has the events table view template so we can share some suggestions?

Sure, here is a link to my table:

Even if it defaults to alphabetical order, I wouldn’t mind that..

Alright, so it should not order by the start date?

Could you reply with the shortcode that is in use on that page?

Thanks

I am using:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE sort=”ASC”]

But it isnt sorting the names

Thanks. Could you try this instead?

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE sort=”ASC” order_by=”false”]

When I used that it didn’t work at all.

I removed the last ” to be:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE sort=”ASC” order_by=”false]

That shows my table again, however, it is still not sorted.

It turns out order_by=”false” is invalid.

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE order_by="event_name"] will order the events by event name, a-z.

That worked, thanks!
