Order Direction "orderdir" not working.

Just checking in. Anyone have any ideas? (mainly the developer =)

Thanks!

Has anyone been able to get a hold for the plugins developer?

Been two weeks and still no response, just need to know if there is a quick fix, or if the plugin does not support ordering (though according to docs it looks like it does).

I’ve tried tweeting and contacting him through social media sites but no luck. If anyone know’s how to reach him please let me know. Thanks so much.

I’m having the same problem. orderdir does not work. Anyone figured out how to fix this yet?

Unfortunately, don’t expect a response from this developer. I had made the error of hoping I would hear back, but waited weeks and nothing.

I resolved the problem through a hack. That is I had jquery reorder the list after it was rendered. It’s unfortunate that the developer does not have more care for his work to respond as the documentation seems to suggest the functionality exists but just does not say how. I tried facebooking and twittering him but nothing.

Best of luck at hearing back otherwise I suggest a hack as: https://lab.arc90.com/tools/jquery_reverseorder/

Would you be willing to share the hack as it is implemented in your code with me?

i just checked it in debug mode an i figured out, that you cannot only define the sort direction without passing the column to be sorted by. to solve the order issue, passing the column name should do it:

<?php fse_print_events(
  array( 'number'   => 100,
          'categories' => 14,
         'before'   => '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">',
         'after'    => '</table>',
         'datefrom'   => mktime(0,0,0,1,1,2009),
         'orderby'  => 'tsfrom',
         'orderdir' => 'DESC',
         'template' => '<ul><li><strong>Title</strong><a href="{event_url}">{event_startdate} {event_subject}</a></li><li><strong>Documents</strong>{event_description}</li></ul>'
  )
); ?>

Thank you so much for this, faebu. The documentation for the plugin says that the ‘orderby’ should be set to ‘datefrom’ or ‘dateto’, no idea where ‘tsfrom’ came from, but you rock for figuring this out.
