The events were not created in chronological order, no.

The shortcode you posted gave me what I already have, using this shortcode: [EVENT_LIST category_identifier=convention-events-1396839515]

I have a list of events in date order, but not in order of start time. I need the list to be in order by date, then by the event’s start time, for example:

EVENT 1
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 10:00 am

EVENT 2
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 12:00 pm

EVENT 3
Date: October 5, 2014
Start Time: 9:00 am

and so on.

I did try that – it still doesn’t list the events by start time, only by date.

Let me rephrase my request so we’re clear:

Currently, my event listing pages are ordering events by date, but not by time, like so:

EVENT 1
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 10:00 am

EVENT 2
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 12:00 pm

EVENT 3
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 9:00 am

EVENT 4
Date: October 5, 2014
Start Time: 10:00 am

So in some cases, events that start later in the day are showing up on the list before earlier events, as in the example above (the 10:00 am event on October 4 is showing before the 9:00 am event on the same date).

I believe they are ordering first by date, then by ID.

I need the events to be ordered first by date, then by start time, regardless of the ID, like so:

EVENT 1
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 10:00 am

EVENT 3
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 9:00 am

EVENT 2
Date: October 4, 2014
Start Time: 12:00 pm

EVENT 4
Date: October 5, 2014
Start Time: 10:00 am

Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick.

I don’t recall seeing time(start_time) listed as an option for orderby parameters on the shortcode page Lorenzo linked to in his second post above. It would have saved a lot of time if that parameter had been listed there.
