Ordering events being returned in the tag feed

    Hey!

    Has anyone had any experience of trying to get the standard wordpress tag feed to return events in their date order, rather than publish order? I’ve a mix of content on my site (i.e. posts, custom post types AND events) which I have consist tags across them. I.e. an event in London, with a blog post and a custom post type about it, all tagged with London. I want to be able to hit the standard /tag/london url and get everything returned in the right order.

    Everything else comes out in the order you’d expect it to, but events don’t because you’d naturally expect them to come out in chronological order of the events, not the published / created date order.

    I’m guessing with a bit of custom code we could tweak it so events are returned in their date order? Anyone done something similar?

    Hi @delanthear,

    I’m checking on your request with my colleagues. Until I have more information, please see our Knowledgebase article on Event Tags here.

    Thank you,

    @delanthear,

    The events by date order is not applied in a mixed post-type archive (like the tag archive).

    This is because there are all kinds of post types in a single query: Posts are ordered by publish date, and Events are ordered by event date.

    Changing this default behavior would require custom development, which we are not equipped to provide.

    Thank you,
    Erica

    Yes, your support team suggested I post here to see if anyone else had done it. I presume a filter which resorted events into the expected order could be written to make it work

    Hi @delanthear

    We do have a related extension in the past but it’s not supported anymore after the V6.0 was released.

    Hi @delanthear

    Thank you for patiently waiting.

    At this time, I added this thread to our internal ticket that should address the Advanced Options for Adding Events to the Main Blog Loop issue.

    I am, however, unable to provide an ETA on this. Extensions are a low priority, so it can take some time before this is addressed. You’ll get notified once there is an update and fix.

    Regards,
    Darian
