 * Hello, I am using this shortcode:
 * `[events layout_type='list' orderby='event_start_date' order='ASC']`
    However
   it doesn’t work. It combines years, seems like years of events are ignored. Could
   you please check the issue on [https://aveprosperita.sk/kalendar/#events](https://aveprosperita.sk/kalendar/#events)
   and tell, what’s wrong?

 * Hi [@lavadesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lavadesign/)
 * Please make sure, you are using the latest version of the core plugin.
 * Secondly, make sure you are having start and end date and time for all your events.
   It will start working.
 * Regards,
    Priya

 * Hello, we have upgraded all plugins, wp core and themes, and set start&end date
   for all events. We are using this shortcode
    `[events layout_type='list' orderby
   ='event_start_date' order='desc']` The order is not good, you can see year 2022
   as first, then few of 2021 and again 2022?!
 * When I change the order=’desc’ to order=’asc’ -> nothing happen. Order is not
   opposite. I think something is wrong with your shortcode.
 * I would rather don’t use the shortcode, however in widget I am not able to display“
   list” by default, but tiles. I need to display list instead of tiles. Thank you
