 * Hello,
 * on my site I have the WPBakery Page Builder installed. In my example I used the
   Events-element to show the next upcoming events (section “news & events”). Howevery,
   changing the sorting properties does not affect anything: wheather I change it
   to sort from start date (ascending or descending) or alphabetically – it just
   always stays the same. In the developers view there is an error due to not loading
   a resource – the customizer-views-v2-controls.css (state 404). Can anybody help
   me out?
 * Thanks and kind regards
 * Martin

 * Hi [@fermac05](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fermac05/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out.
 * I just visited your site ([https://dodgerblue-viper-571410.hostingersite.com/](https://dodgerblue-viper-571410.hostingersite.com/)),
   and I am not seeing the resource 404 (`customizer-views-v2-controls.css`) that
   you are seeing. But, this could be due to the resource being called only when
   logged in to the WordPress admin dashboard.
 * As for your concern about the inability to sort events displayed using WP Bakery
   Page Builder’s Events element, this could be due to incompatibility, where the
   feature does not have full support for events created with The Events Calendar.
   I recommend using our shortcodes (see [Shortcodes Overview](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/shortcodes-overview-legacy/))
   instead, which is being made available with the Events Calendar Pro add-on premium
   plugin.
