Masonry Sorting by date using The Events Calendar categories

Hey bcgallaher,

Thank you for the inquiry.

The masonry element does not support sorting entries by their starting date by default. You can see the available sorting option in the element’s Content > Sorting > Order by settings. You may need to add the filter below to change the masonry query a bit and sort the events by their starting date.

/* query events by starting date */
function avia_masonry_entries_query_mod( $query, $params ) {
        if(! is_page( [23, 8] ) ) 
        {
            return $query;
        }

	$include = array();

	$events = tribe_get_events( [
		'posts_per_page' => $query["posts_per_page"],
		'start_date'     => 'now',
	] );

	foreach($events as $event) {
		$include[] = $event->ID;
	}

	unset($query['tax_query']);
	$query['post__in'] = $include;

	return $query;
}
add_filter('avia_masonry_entries_query', 'avia_masonry_entries_query_mod', 10, 2);

Make sure to include the ID of the page containing the masonry with events in the is_page conditional function above.

Best regards,
Ismael
