listing alphabetically

Well, it’s possible, but not using the shortcode (I’m guessing we’re talking about [event_embed] here?) “out of the box”.

It’s not something I’ve considered previously since event data is typically ordered by date: is there a particular reason it makes sense to do it alphabetically (I ask only in case there’s a broader use case – if there is, I’d consider adding this sort of facility to the plugin)?

One approach that might work nicely here is to register your own shortcode and use Event Rocket’s event embed facilities programmatically – you can then reorder the result set however you like and have a meaningful shortcode name to boot, like [alphabetical_event_list params=”…”].

I hope that helps!

hi Barry, thanks for the great plugin.

Yes using the [event embed].

the reason is I have several events happening on the same day (some actually at same time) and need a way to display them in a way that doesn’t seem to give preference to one over the other). So ideally i would like events on same day to be listed alphabetically.

I think I should be able to register a new shortcode but not sure about how I would go about coding it.

thanks

Hey Dom – there’s a nice example of registering shortcodes in the Codex article I linked to ??
