I’m trying to list events in date and time order, restricted to one category. No problem with the category restriction, but the events order themselves by ID. I was having this problem before on the full [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] listing, and removed the “id, ASC” from the end of line 109 of templates/event_list.php. This fixed the problem for the main events listing. Adding the category parameter to an [EVENT_LIST] shortcode brings the problem back, whether order_by=date(start_date) is present or not. Removing the category parameter fixes the problem. Please advise.
The correct sort, using [ESPRESSO_EVENTS], can be found at http://www.polb100.com/registration (but with one extraneous event I need removed).
The incorrect sort, using [EVENT_LIST category_identifier=”tours” order_by=date(start_date)], can be found at http://www.polb100.com/event-list-tours.
I’ll also add that I tried the solution suggested here: https://eventespresso.com/topic/order-by-start_time/ but it simply broke my event page (it returned “No events available.”

Hi Christopher,
I have tried a non standard shortcode attribute which may work, though my test content was quite limited.
[EVENT_LIST category_identifier=larp order_by=time(start_time)]
theoretically you could have the date and the time one at the same time.

Unfortunately, that shortcode doesn’t seem to work, either in combination with anything or by itself. No matter how I use the time(start_time) shortcode I get back “No events available.”

Odd it works for me here.
Is it possible to get your login details in order to look into this?

I’d rather not just at the moment, because we’re actually taking reservations on the events in question and I don’t want to disrupt that if at all possible. Can you let me know where I can find the code regarding the time(start_time) parameter? I upgraded from 3.1.26 to 3.1.27 yesterday and it’s possible that the file with that parameter didn’t get updated.

Hi Christopher,
No problem. Date and time functions are processed from event-espresso/includes/functions/time_date.php
