List events in the order they were added

Hi,

That should work fine. Does it work ok if you pare it down to just:

[events_list orderby="event_date_created"]

Hi there,

It is outputting a list of events with the latest event added on the final page instead of the first page- so basically it is backwards. I would like the most recent event to be displayed first in the list so my members can see what events have been recently added onto the site.

Thoughts?

Oops sorry not sure what happened there

I’m glad to see someone else is having this issue as well.

My shortcode is [events_list orderby="event_date_created" order="DESC" limit=10] and I have been using it for quite a few years, but it hasn’t shown a new event for the last couple of months from what I can see.

I always share new events to my Facebook page as soon as I enter them, that is making it easier for me to see how long it has been since it stopped working.

Hurah! Its not just me!

@oc.861 Can you clarify which shortcode you’re using when the output is coming out “backwards”?

@bam Bam Is the shortcode you quoted also display the list backwards?

Yes, no worries – this is what we are using on the page which used to work so that the latest event added to the system would display first in the table:

[events_list orderby="event_date_created" order="DESC" scope="future" limit=10 pagination=1]

So, here is how the page is displaying:
<img src=”https://www.861sqn.org/latest_1.PNG”&gt;

…and on page 4 of the list, you find the latest event added to the system – this should be at the top of page 1:

<img src=”https://www.861sqn.org/latest_2.PNG”&gt;

Humm sorry that didnt work:

First screenshot: <img src=”https://www.861sqn.org/latest_1.PNG”&gt;

Second screenshot: <img src=”https://www.861sqn.org/latest_2.PNG”&gt;

Can anyone help with this please?

Have you tried using event_start_date instead?

Yes but that wouldn’t deliver a list of events in the order that they were added to EM – it will just output a list of events and order them by start date which isn’t what we are after.

I have tried ordering the list in ASC instead of DESC and that doesn’t seem to make a difference either.

[events_list orderby="event_date_created" order="ASC" scope="future" limit=10 pagination=1]

I get this too, I’ve let the devs know about it. should get fixed soon.

Update: This issue has now been addressed in the just released version of the plugin.
