In new version, the “Sortable Entry” block underwent a transformation in its rendering mechanism – it shifted from static to server-side rendering to enhance the flexibility of date filtering. This modification also followed deprecation strategy from WordPress core.

However, an unexpected behavior has surfaced: WordPress seems to be automatically rewriting the output of the older versions of the block and removing the dateTime attribute (reseting it to current date until the date is selected and saved again.)

I’m not sure why this is happening since this attribute has remained consistent since the initial version of the plugin.

I’ve observed this anomaly on my website as well.

It looks like it only happens to the “Sortable Entry” blocks created before server-side rendering (1.7.0). However, when setting the date again, WordPress no longer removes the dateTime attribute.

Probably, we just got an edge case issue when migrating from static to server rendering. I currently do not have a solution but I will raise this case with WordPress development team at Github.

Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing, and I appreciate you taking the time to notify me of this issue.

I have already started investigating the issue to understand the cause and work on a fix. I will keep you updated on my progress.

Kind regards,
Taras

Hello,

I just want to let you know that a new version (1.7.0) of the plugin has been released. This version includes additional support for date filter options.

Now, it’s possible to filter events (Sortable Entry blocks) based on selected date. Also, the block automatically hides outdated events on a WordPress website.

For more information, please refer to block’s documentation: https://sortable.themesharbor.com/

Kind regards,

Hello,
Thank you for using the plugin.

1. Regarding the automatic removal of past events: In the current version (1.5.0) of the plugin, this feature is not available. The events are not saved as separate entries in the database (like posts, pages, or other post types) due to the structure of the block. This makes auto-removal a bit challenging. Nevertheless, I’ve noted down this feature request. While I’ll be exploring possible solutions to implement this without compromising the integrity of the plugin, I cannot guarantee its inclusion in future versions.
2. About adding a horizontal line between list view sections: This is indeed on the plugin’s roadmap for upcoming releases. I’ll keep you posted regarding the progress of this feature in this thread.

Thank you for your valuable feedback and patience.

Warm regards,
Taras

Hi,

“Is it possible to add the ability to sort in reverse order?”
– At the moment, it’s not possible but this option will be included in upcoming plugin release.

—

“The sidebar asks for the date and time, but only the date is displayed.”
– Very good point. I’ve added it to our to-do list for upcoming release. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I’ll keep you posted regarding these features in this post.
