How hard would it be to add a sort index on the slug/permalink??
That would add a powerful tool to sort one’s events any way they want. We’ve asked about something similar before in that we’re trying to sort on the event_names but to ignore the “The ” at the beginning of a event name. I found code that should work but I can’t get it to work.
This is an example of an issue that seems simple enough but is actually fairly complex in the background. We don’t currently have a method for doing this and we’d need to build something into the models to allow for it so its not something I can give you a snippet to work around with.
I’ll open up a discussion with the team about this and see if its something we would consider adding.
