Looking for info on how to choose the order in which my events display. By default they show in order of date. I’d like them to display by order of class name.

Hello,
Yes this is possible. You will need to paste this short code [EVENT_LIST sort=ASC order_by=event_name] into a new page. The main Event Registration page can be removed from the menu but needs to remain active.
Here is a link to more documentation https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/
Thanks

Thanks Nikki That was helpful. Can I make it even a bit more complicated?
I’d like to list the classes by name on the same page that I have 2 different category lists going on. For example I am using the short codes:
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”gymnastics”]
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”swimming”]
to separate the different groupings of classes I am teaching. If I use the short code you provided to organize each of those lists by class name it just just posts all the alphabetized classes on top of my separated class lists. Is there a slightly different code I could use that would allow all of that to happen on one page?
In short, I’m going for 2 lists of classes on the same page, both organized by class name.

Hi Tamara,
[EVENT_LIST] will also let you specify a category, so you can use [EVENT_LIST] instead of [EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY]. The documentation that Nikki linked to includes the category parameters that work with [EVENT_LIST].

“so you can use [EVENT_LIST] instead of [EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY]”
Ok Josh – So what would be the complete short code for that? Where would I use Event_List?
Again, I’m going for 2 lists of classes (or 2 categories) on the same page, each organized by class name.

You’d replace:
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”gymnastics”]
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”swimming”]
with:
[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=”gymnastics”]
[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=”swimming”]

Josh – When I use those short codes I get my categories in 2 different lists, which is great, but they are not organized by name. They are organized by date.
Is there a way to combine those short codes you just gave me with the one Nikki provided earlier that allowed me to sort the classes by name?
[EVENT_LIST sort=ASC order_by=event_name] + [EVENT_LIST event_category_id=”gymnastics”] ??
