Listing of events in order of event day instead of creation time #111

Closed gerard-kanters closed 6 years ago

gerard-kanters commented 7 years ago

Events are sorted by creation time (elgg default). From a user perspective it is best to see events in order of start time of the event. So upcoming events first.

events should be ordered by start of the event (see https://github.com/ColdTrick/event_manager/blob/master/lib/functions.php#L92)... whenor where are you experiencing a different sort order?

gerard-kanters commented 6 years ago

I see that it should, but it doesn't. I still see the list in order of creation time (I did check past events since there were no events planned in the future). But that should not make a difference since sorting is done for all options the same. Maybe it is related how the date is stored in the database ?

jdalsem commented 6 years ago

date/time is stored as timestamps, so they are ints... that should be no problem to sort... there was/is an upgrade that changed how timestamps are stored. That upgrade should upgrade old storage to a new version. Maybe something went wrong for those items... could you test by creating 2 new events where the second created event starts before the first created and see if those items are sorted correctly?

I will check.
