# Search Result Order

 * I would like the search results to just display in chronological order without
   any of the special ordering just like on the list view. As of right now it appears
   to be trying to sort by month, venue, date, and post id. Any help in modifying
   this to appear that way would be a great help. Would prefer to not have to modify
   the Query.php file but if I need to change the wpdb->prepare statement I am comfortable
   with that.

 * Hi [@dpope0824](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpope0824/),
 * I’m afraid that here on the free support forums we can’t go into much depth with
   custom dev questions like this. It’s certainly possible some other community 
   members might be able to pitch in with advice, though.
 * Some general thoughts in the meantime:
    - It could be worth clarifying which set of search results you are interested
      in (I’m assuming the ‘regular’ WordPress search page and not the events search
      results page, but it’s not super clear)
    - You should never have to modify core code either within the plugin or WordPress–
      especially for something like this: WordPress itself provides ample hooks 
      and our plugin follows the same model, so please avoid core modifications!
