Hello
I have a small problem with an event listing that I’m building. I’m trying to order my list of events by event name, but for some reason the entry_date always takes precedence in the ordering.
For example, I have an event that I did the entry for back in December of 2011. That entry always shows up first on the list because it was the first event I entered and therefore has the earliest entry_date.
Here is what my entries tag looks like:
{exp:channel:entries channel="events" orderby="{event_name}” sort=“asc” show_future_entries=“yes” dynamic=“no”}
Regardless of the orderby=”{event_name}”, the one entry that has a really early entry_date shows first on the list, even though its name begins with “B”. Other events that start with A show up below this first entry.
I’ve tried using the disable= parameter in the entry tag to be disable=”{entry_date}”. But that does not seem to work.
Am I doing something wrong with orderby? Is orderby entry_date the default? Is there a way to turn that off?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
