asc/desc in shortcode view

[virginiatod]

Hi, I have a very simple question:
is there a way to change the asc/desc order of the events in the shortcode view?

Thank you

[Cliff]

Hi. We have multiple shortcodes (https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase-tag/shortcodes/). Please specify which shortcode you’re referring to by pasting the entire shortcode here, with all the arguments you’re using.

Sure, you’re right! Here’s the shortcode I’m using:

[tribe_events view=”list” category=”cat1″ date=”2006-01″]

[Cliff]

The tribe_events shortcode is a way to embed our main event views anywhere on your site. Therefore, its output matches that of yoursite/events/list

Do you want to alter the ordering of both the shortcode’s and main event view’s ordering?

[virginiatod]

I want to alter the shortcode list view… I need to see the most recent events first…

Well I tried for you, but this isn’t possible… here’s some roundabout code that works for the initial List View rendering, but not the previous/next events navigation:

(Please reference https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/implementing-custom-code-snippets/ for how to implement custom code snippets.)

FYI: this code sets the order to DESC, but it sounds like you want it ASC, which it already is by default. Still, the code I shared is just a proof of concept.

You can use it as a starting point or just live with the limitation that you can’t specifically target the shortcode’s rendering and use some different code to override the main List View render (i.e. whether from shortcode or the yoursite/events/list URL)

I’ve ticketed this as a desired future enhancement, so this thread will receive a reply if/when that functionality gets added, but it’s unlikely to be before the end of this year, just as a realistic guess.

I hope this information helps a bit.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
