I’m using EE4 and I’d like to sort my query by name.
I have a custom query using your recommended code to attach to the $wp_query call: $wp_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts ); and everything is working fine except that I can’t sort by name.
The 'order_by' -> in $atts defaults to ORDER BY event_start_date in the query.
I found the function in the core file that parses the ‘order_by’ field here: https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/blob/a03b30cbc127991fe11b30e3b20fcfe9d01fea15/core/helpers/EEH_Event_Query.helper.php#L257
Unfortunately, I see that the only sorting options are ticket and venue related.
Is there a way to add another ‘case’ to this function to sort by event name without modifying a core file? Or maybe there’s another approach to sort this query by name that I haven’t considered.

Hi there,
EE_Event_List_Query was actually deprecated. A few options you can consider would be to use the EventListQuery class with your own attributes, or you can use the WP_Query without the extended class.
If you can post some example code in a gist or pastebin I can give you more specific examples on what to change there.

Thanks Josh!
Here’s a link to the code: https://pastebin.com/nZpFvKLu
Let me know what you recommend.

Here’s one idea that uses WP_Query instead:
