Sort order in blog loop

[Nicola]

Hello, I would like to change the sort order in the main blog loop (the blog front page). Is it possible to have the next upcomming event at the top and then in order down to the ones that are later in the future? (like on the seperate “event list” page).

If this is possible, where in the blog would the events go when the event date has passed?

Kind Regards,
Nicola

Hello,

I can help out here.

We have a snippet to reverse the order here:

Order Events by Post Date in the Main WordPress Post Query

Add that to your theme’s function.php and let me know if that is what you are looking for.

Thanks

Hello, I had seen this snipped before already but it does not do what I want to do. It does the change the sort order but not in the way that the next event is at the top.

Ok I get what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, we do not have a snippet for that it, not sure if that is possible in the main loop. It could be easier to either use a widget or to create a custom loop to grab the next event and display it.

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
