# PHP code "broken" with new update

 * First–absolutely love this plugin.
 * Second–having a little problem. On the main page of my site (everythingbelton.
   com) we run posts and events. They are ordered by the date they are published.
   In order to achieve this, we previously inserted this snippet into the functions
   php:
 * add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘tribe_post_date_ordering’, 51 );
 * function tribe_post_date_ordering( $query ) {
    if ( ! empty( $query->tribe_is_multi_posttype)){
   remove_filter( ‘posts_fields’, array( ‘Tribe__Events__Query’, ‘multi_type_posts_fields’));
   $query->set( ‘order’, ‘DESC’ ); } }
 * When we updated to the latest version of the Events Calendar the snippet no longer
   works. WordPress looked into it but couldn’t figure out why it was no longer 
   working. They told me to contact the developers so that perhaps I could get a
   rewrite or a fix.
 * In the meantime, I’ve reverted back to the old version–which I love. 🙂 Have 
   a great day folks! Hope to hear from you soon.

 * Howdy everythingbelton.com,
 * I am sorry to hear you are having an issue with that snippet. I see you are using
   the update version of the snippet that we published just prior to launching 3.10.
   It is working excellent for me, sorting events by their pubdate.
 * Could you try doing a conflict test, but putting that snippet in a stock theme
   for testing purposes like Twenty Fourteeen? [This guide walks you through how to test for a conflict, and then identify what is conflicting.](http://m.tri.be/r6)
 * Cheers!
    – Brook
