 * [events orderby=”event_start_date”]
 * It simply doesn’t work. Orderby parameter isn’t working anymore.
 * Seems like someone have posted same issue before on git [https://github.com/wpeventmanager/wp-event-manager/issues/783](https://github.com/wpeventmanager/wp-event-manager/issues/783)
 * Can you guys please take a look into it?

 * Hi [@aeberling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aeberling/)
 * Please use: [events orderby=”event_start_date” order=”ASC”]
 * Make sure you have added the **start and end date and time** for all your events.

 * Thanks for replying [@priyagoenka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/priyagoenka/)
   
   The solution you suggest doesnk work. This event [https://aspengrovecenter.com/event/storywalk-july/](https://aspengrovecenter.com/event/storywalk-july/)
   along with some other events suppose to display in listing page here [https://aspengrovecenter.com/event-listings/](https://aspengrovecenter.com/event-listings/)
   also sorting is not working as you can see on list page events are not sorted
   as start date. I am using the same shortcode you suggested.
 * Your help is much appreciated!

 * Hi [@aeberling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aeberling/)
 * Please see, I checked your events, not all your events have start and end timings.
   
   Please update all the events, and check.
 * Regards,
    Priya
