Espresso Event Table order_by not working

We are using ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE and the events used to be ordered in alphabetical ascending order.

All the events now appear ordered by start date, we have tried order_by= all the possible options: event_name, ID, etc… but nothing seems to affect the order of the events.

The only thing that affects the ordering is changing the ASC to DESC but just order by start dates in the opposite direction.

This problem started after we updated to WP WordPress 5.9.2.

We would like to have the events in alphabetical order but it has become impossible from our side. We would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Just to note, I don’t think this issue relates to WP 5.9.2 as I can reproduce this on a test site running an older version. Did you run a bunch of updates at the same time as updating to WP 5.9.2, such as updating Event Espresso?

As I’ve been able to reproduce I’ve created a ticket for our developers to investigate this further and will let you know of any feedback given.

Yes after updating WP we updated all the plugins including Event Espresso.

Hi there!

I bring good news!
Our development team already fixed this and the order_by seems to be working fine now. I have tested the order_by=event_name and order_by=start_date and it worked fine.

Above I filtered the events by start date.

I just sent the eventespresso.zip to your registered email under the Event Espresso Billing Information and you will need to remove the current EventEspresso and install the newest one.

Just let me know if you received it and worked as expected.
