Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
About the query here, I have carried out tests from my end and I do not seem to replicate the issue. Could you perhaps counter-check that both events use the same Timezone and that the Timezone settings do match with what you have in Google Calendar. Here is a doc on this: https://docs.simplecalendar.io/timezone-settings/ .
Let us know if this helps.
Kind Regards
Thank you for your response, John!
I checked to ensure that all the events are sharing the same timezone, ensured my site has the correct timezone set in WordPress, and ensured my Google Calendar is using the same timezone as well. Everything is aligned based on the settings page you sent me.
I also tried all 3 settings for the timezone in the plugin – none of them correct for this error. Here’s the page with the misaligned event – https://www.chiradfae.com/calendar/events-summer-2026-plugin – as you can see “⛱️ Lakeside Hangouts” should be displaying above each of the “⚪️ Available” blocks. It’s like it’s sorting the page by end time, not start time.
Doing more troubleshooting, it appears just fine when in Grid mode, but misaligns the order when in List mode.
I’ve also tried using event names with and without emoji (in case that was causing an issue) but that didn’t work either.

Hi Shivian,
Thanks for staying in touch with us.
In this case, I’m yet to replicate this issue on my end. Here is a screenshot of the list view. Could you perhaps counter-check that you have the latest version of the plugin (3.6.2), that your site is running on the latest WordPress version and at least PHP version 8.2.
In addition, please try disabling other possible conflicting plugins that you may have in place and check whether the issue is resolved.
If the above does not help, could you instead submit a support ticket here: https://simplecalendar.io/contact/ in regards to this matter for further review.
Kind Regards
I really appreciate your diligence @johnweru – thank you
I’ll see if disabling anything changes the results, and otherwise submit a support ticket if I can’t figure it out.
I appreciate all your support!
I checked my versions, and everything was up to date. Also disabled plugins to see if that was the issue … no dice.
Then, I found what was causing the problem @johnweru – and it absolutely seems to be a bug.
When events were in List View, and I had “Expand Multi-day Events” set to “No, display only on first day of the event”, it was creating this error.
When I kept the events in List View, and changed “Expand Multi-day Events” to “Yes, display on all days of event”, the ordering shows up correctly.
So, this certainly appears to be a bug.
How / where should I go about submitting this?
