# [Plugin: Events Manager] Sorting doesn't work

 * I’m using version 5.0.51 on [http://www.backstagefashionreports.com/events](http://www.backstagefashionreports.com/events)
 * The events are showing are always sorted by start date ascending. I can’t change
   this to Descending, even though I set it like that in the settings.
 * The page Events has CONTENTS in its content and is used as the default page for
   showing events.
 * I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, since I’ve checked all options.
 * Only way to solve this (imo) is to manually add a shortcode which displays the
   events (but then I loose the pagination, if I’m not mistaken).

 * you can try to use `All Descending` option because if you use `Descending,Ascending,
   Ascending` option it will only sort the start date and the rest is ascending (
   start time and event name)

 * what about using a shortcode or widget, is this only limited to your events page?

 * If i use a shortcode, will I still have pagination ? I thought not, but not sure
   have to test it (but not today)
