Re-ordering Events That Start At The Same Time On Same Day?

[Amber]

We’re using ECP and have 3 events that start at the same time (end at different times) on the same day.

We would like to rearrange the order in which the events appear. I’m not quite sure how to go about doing this. They don’t appear in alphabetical order and changing the published date doesn’t appear to work either.

I didn’t see an option to change this, unless I missed it. What is the best way to re-arrange the event order?

Hey @creativecollab,

There’s unfortunately no easy way to do this at this time 🙁

The order is dictated by code deep within the core of the plugin, and so it’s unfortunately pretty complicated to modify at all. And since it’s core plugin code, it would be overwritten any time you updated the plugin.

Despite what I wrote above, if you’re REALLY interested in changing this regardless, then you would have to head to your plugin files for The Events Calendar. Then navigate to /src/Tribe/Month.php

Once in this file, look for the method get_daily_events() – I highlighted the code in a Gist for you here → https://goo.gl/2W2Jgb

To alter the order, you would modify the 'orderby' parameter. You can learn all the acceptable options for that parameter here → https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

I’m sorry that this isn’t easier to change at this time – but I hope this information helps!

Cheers,
George
