I tried Yahoo! Pipes too, no go. Doesn’t fix the sorting problem. The RSS feed is not set up right on Tribe’s end, so there’s no fixing it using Pipes, unfortunately.
Again, this can be tested easily enough using the default WordPress RSS widget and Tribe’s own demo:
http://wpshindig.com/events/feed
http://wpshindig.com/events/list/The two feeds *should* sort the same. They don’t.
The RSS feed is messed up. I’ve been asking about it for over a week @ RSS Feed update? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-update?replies=7

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] RSS Feed update?Hi Brook,
Just checked Tribe’s demo site, same problem, order is not the same:

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] RSS Feed update?Hi Brook.
I just checked again on another site, unfortunately same thing. Please test the default RSS WordPress widget plugin using the /events/feed URL and The Events Calendar widget and let me know if they sort the same. On every site I’ve tested so far it does not, regardless of whether I use (or don’t use) the snippet. Thanks.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [The Events Calendar] RSS Feed update?Thanks for the reply Brook. What I’m finding happening (as well as other people reporting on this issue, like this guy http://tri.be/support/forums/topic/integrating-events-calender-rss-with-main-rss-ordering-by-publish-date/) is that the feed sorts by post date (not event date) in Feedly as well as the default WordPress RSS plugin in the Widgets area. In other words, the feed http://example.com/events/feed will show a different order than the Events Calendar Upcoming Events widget. Can you confirm that that is not the case? Thanks again!

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] RSS Feed update?I’ve been working on this, but still no luck. The code to set events provided by Tribe (http://tri.be/how-to-add-events-to-your-rss-feed/) to modify the RSS to sort by event date (as opposed to when it was added to the calendar), doesn’t seem to work anymore.
// Add Tribe Event Namespace add_filter( 'rss2_ns', 'events_rss2_namespace' ); function events_rss2_namespace() { echo 'xmlns:ev="http://purl.org/rss/2.0/modules/event/"'."\r\n"; } // Add Event Date to RSS Feeds add_action('rss_item','tribe_rss_feed_add_eventdate'); add_action('rss2_item','tribe_rss_feed_add_eventdate'); add_action('commentsrss2_item','tribe_rss_feed_add_eventdate'); function tribe_rss_feed_add_eventdate() { if ( ! tribe_is_event() ) return; ?> <ev:tribe_event_meta xmlns:ev="Event"> <?php if (tribe_get_start_date() !== tribe_get_end_date() ) { ?> <ev:startdate><?php echo tribe_get_start_date(); ?></ev:startdate> <ev:enddate><?php echo tribe_get_end_date(); ?></ev:enddate> <?php } else { ?> <ev:startdate><?php echo tribe_get_start_date(); ?></ev:startdate> <?php } ?> </ev:tribe_event_meta> <?php }Anybody have a fix? Thanks!

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Previous Events in Wrong Chronoligical OrderHi Brook,
Will your snippet be paginated? In other words, will there be a break point of events per page. If so, is that going to be set so that the first page activated by the link is the last in the set or the first? For example, if there are enough past events to span five pages, will the link start at page 1 or page 5?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Previous Events in Wrong Chronoligical OrderThanks Rob and sorry if my tone in https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-order-of-past-events-listed?replies=14 has been perceived as argumentative, not my intention. As far as your assertion that the majority of users prefer past events listed in chronological order, I question that. For example, take email – How’s it sorted? Newest to oldest. Facebook? Newest to oldest. WordPress? Newest to oldest. That’s reverse chronological order in the most common of web activities.
I’d be willing to bet the world would come to a screaming halt if GMail, Facebook and WordPress started sorting oldest to newest. But hey, that’s me. Looking forward to the snippet.
Thanks!

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] change order of past events listed> it would be great if we could get a solution to this please
Unfortunately, I wouldn’t get too hopeful about this happening anytime soon. Tribe apparently doesn’t seem to think there’s anything wrong with the sort order as it is.

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] change order of past events listedThanks for the links John. It’s odd that we even have to argue this with Tribe as any blogger using WordPress (or any other platform – Facebook for that matter) knows that new posts go on top, not at the end. Crazy.

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] change order of past events listedHi Brook,
Thanks for the reply. On a site with just a few past events, for example 20, seeing them all on one page and scrolling to the bottom I suppose is not too much of an inconvenience, though seeing the oldest event always on top is not going to be welcome news after just a few visits.With that, I give you the onion: You peel an onion from the outside in, a layer at a time. Each layer corresponds to time, the most recent layer on top (newest -> oldest). You don’t peel an onion from the inside out (oldest -> newest). That’s akin to what is going on here.
Given how easy it is in MySQL to sort records by Date, I don’t think this should be a big deal for Tribe to at least offer the option. Especially since it would only affect the Past Events list page.
Thanks again!

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] change order of past events listedp.s. Brook – You can easily test this yourself. Simply make a hundred pages of past events and let me know which scenario you prefer tabbing through to find the most recent.
1. Oldest -> Newest
2. Newest -> Oldest
