Title: 2016/2017 order problem Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # 2016/2017 order problem * Resolved [BetaTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/betatom/) * (@betatom) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20162017-order-problem/) * i use this plugin to display an simplen list of events ordered by date. The problem now is, with dates in 2017. * The list looks like this: * 11. Jan 2017 – 13. Jan 2017 15. Feb 2017 – 17. Jan 2017 17. Aug 2016 – 19. Aug 2016 7. Sep 2016 – 9. Sep 2016 10. Oct 2016 – 12. Oct 2016 9. Nov 2016 – 11. Nov 2016 12. Dec 2016 – 14. Dec 2016 * my shortcode looks like this: `[ecs-list-events cat='Basic Training' contentorder ='date' order='ASC' limit='20']` * Like you see the 2017 dates are before the 2016 dates witch is wrong. Do you have any idea to fix that? * Tom * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Brian Hogg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianhogg/) * (@brianhogg) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20162017-order-problem/#post-7647560) * Hi Tom, * Strange, there is likely something (another plugin or the theme) modifying the query to change the order, . On a clean install of WordPress with the plugin and a few events added (one from 2017), the dates are in the right order. * Can you make a copy of the live site and disable all other plugins except The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar Shortcode and switch to the default theme and see if the issue still exists? You could try it on the live site but you’ll need a backup in case disabling plugins and switching themes causes any data loss, and will obviously affect the live site temporarily. * Plugin Author [Brian Hogg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianhogg/) * (@brianhogg) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20162017-order-problem/#post-7647652) * Hi Tom, * I’m still not able to replicate this, but if you’re able to test with other plugins disabled and one of the default WordPress themes would be happy to try and sort this out (no pun intended). It seems to be sorting by the end-date month for you. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [BetaTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/betatom/) * (@betatom) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20162017-order-problem/#post-7647653) * Hi Brian, sorry for the delay! i deactivate step by step all plugins and i found a reciprocation with [https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-types-order/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-types-order/) I deactivate the plugin and now everything is fine. Now i just have to order my portfolio by hand ;o) * Maybe you have an alternative witch is compatible? * tom * Plugin Author [Brian Hogg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianhogg/) * (@brianhogg) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20162017-order-problem/#post-7647655) * Hi Tom, * Looks like it’s an issue for others too: * [https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/post-type-order-plugin-causes-events-to-reorder-non-chronologically-in-list-view/](https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/post-type-order-plugin-causes-events-to-reorder-non-chronologically-in-list-view/) * I don’t know of another re-ordering plugin off-hand that doesn’t effect custom post types, might be worth posting on the Post Types Order forum and see if they know of a solution?
