# GroupBy example does not work

 * [1 week, 6 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/groupby-example-does-not-work/)
 * Using this page [https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/event-location-grouping-ordering/?_highlight=example#more-real-world-examples](https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/event-location-grouping-ordering/?_highlight=example#more-real-world-examples)
 * And this example: [events_list groupby=”recurrence_id” groupby_orderby=”event_start_date,
   event_start_time”]
 * For the 2nd and 3rd column I used
 * [events_list groupby=”recurrence_id” groupby_orderby=”event_start_date,event_start_time”
   scope=”future” orderby=”event_start_date, event_start_time” order=”asc” groupby_order
   =”asc”] … [/events_list]
 * Tried using post_parent but that did not help
 * Should this work for repeating events?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgroupby-example-does-not-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Figured it out, “recurrence_id” should be “recurrence_**set**_id”

 * [@sringwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sringwood/) thanks, you’re right,
   we’ll update the docs to reflect that. This was correct before our recent revamp
   of recurrences
