Sorting the events frontend

[Morten]

Hi,

Is there a function to sort the events in a specific order on the frontend?

I’d like to choose which are showing first.

Hey Morten,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You have a couple of options for this one! If you’d like to modify a specific view, you can use “pre_get_posts” and modify the order with the desired arguments there. Be sure to add “suppress_filtes => true” to the arguments as well so it ignores the event date ordering that we natural force on the events.

You could also use “tribe_get_events” to build your own event lists. You’ll also need to add the suppress_filters option described above for this approach as well.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Hi Josh,

Thanks. I’d like to have the option in a page by a shortcode or similar, so i dont need to hard code it in a template everytime i’d like to switch one from another.

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance

🙂

Hey Morten,

We don’t have anything like that built in. This is something that you could create your own shortcode for though. Rather than building the tribe_get_events queries in a template, you can build them into a shortcode. You could then take advantage of the shortcode attributes to quickly change the order.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
