using blog element for events calendar listings, need to order by event date

Hmm, I thought I replied to this — guess I got distracted and never hit submit….Anyways! Yes, the filter’s in the functions file and the Event Time snippet’s in the loop-index — both are in the child theme. The example I listed in the original post is no longer valid, since those events have now passed, but here are a couple of other examples: https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/casa-dominguez/ and https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/morgan-place/

Credentials below — thanks, Ismael!!

Thanks, Ismael — looks like I added it with the CPT UI plugin (see https://capture.dropbox.com/s1Lk7UWcUheKvgfd), but I also just noticed this block of code at the bottom of my functions file (sorry I missed that the first time). Thanks again and lmk if you have any other questions.

// ADD POST SORT OPTIONS TO ENFOLD ELEMENTS

        }

        if(!empty($avia_config['avia_custom_query_options']['orderby']))
        {
            $query['orderby'] = $avia_config['avia_custom_query_options']['orderby'];
        }

        unset($avia_config['avia_custom_query_options']);

Sorry about the sftp info — below/private has a new password. Instead of reverting the whole site, I just uploaded restored the functions file. But replacing the ADD POST SORT OPTIONS TO ENFOLD ELEMENTS filter at the bottom of that file with the filter you provided didn’t seem to work, so I left the original filter in place.

BTW, you’ll notice the Morgan Place page/url now seems to have some events at the bottom which aren’t formatting properly — I’m guessing that’s a separate issue due to staff not properly entering events, or something (I haven’t seen that issue before) — I’m guessing you can ignore that, for now.

Thanks again and lmk if you have other questions.

Nice — thanks so much, Ismael — the ordering’s working, and that’s amazing, but it seems now the recurring events aren’t showing. For example, there should be recurring events showing on https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/wilmington-townhomes/. If I disable the functions file in the child theme, I can see the recurring events, but we’re getting that “nothing found” message when the functions file’s active. Do you have any idea why that might be? Thanks again.
