TRying to sort events by date in module

[James]

Hi there,
I have a module on the frontpage of my site which provides a feed of upcoming events.
At the moment, it is not correctly displaying events by event date and it is showing expired events as well.

http://b4-business.white-staging.co.uk/

It’s the member events module at the bottom.

Could you help me identify the problem with my code?

<?php

extract(array(
‘events’ => []
), EXTR_SKIP);

$heading = (($heading) ? $heading : ‘Member Events’);
?>

<div class=”col-xxs-12 col-xs-6 col-md-3 isotope-item”>

<div class=”panel panel-default module module-member-event”>

<div class=”panel-heading”>

See All

<?php echo $heading; ?>

</div>

<div class=”list-group” data-compare>

<?php $args = array( ‘orderby’ => ‘date’); foreach($events as $event ): ?>

” class=”list-group-item”>
<?php render_template(‘subtitle-with-date’, array(‘text’ => $event[‘title’], ‘date’ => $event[‘date’])); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</div>

</div>

</div>

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help out here, but I am limited in supporting customizations.

When you orderby date it does the publish date of the event and not the Event’s start date.

This is what we use to orderby the Start Date:

'meta_key' => '_EventStartDate',
'orderby' => array('menu_order' => 'ASC','meta_value_datetime' => 'ASC',)

We also have tribe_get_events that orders by startdate:

Using tribe_get_events

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
