# Recurring date list

 * I have a table with birthdates (no year) set up for kids in our elementary class.
   I have the table set up to show future dates and I want it to continue to repeat–
   e.g. after December then start again in January. Right now we have no birthdays
   in Oct, Nov and Dec, and the next birthday is in January, but nothing shows because
   it has to start again at the beginning of the table. Is there a way to do this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frecurring-date-list%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I can’t really think of a solution here
   🙁
    For a date comparison, a year would be necessary, but even with that, the
   entries would still be in the wrong position (i.e. January entries can not be
   shown after December entries again, automatically) 🙁
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Do you think in January it will start with the 1/6 date?

 * Hi,
 * yes, I think it would, due to how the used PHP code function works. If no year
   is provided in the date, it will assume the current/running year. So, once we
   reach 2022, a date like “1/6” will be “future” again.
