Events not listed in Order by Date

[brain916]

Last issue. I noticed that at times the “events” are not listed by dates. In this order I have a release on May 23rd, May 31st then May 17th. You can see the example here:
http://www.sneakerfiles.com/releases/?action=tribe_photo&tribe_paged=2&tribe_event_display=photo

How would I make sure all the releases are in order from date?

Hi!

It actually looks to be behaving as expected: photo view is designed to make best available use of space and that can cause a little displacement of the event posts (they are not formed or intended to be laid out in a rigid grid structure). This diagram might help to explain how things work in this view:

11111111  22222222  33333333
11111111  22222222  33333333
11111111  22222222  33333333
11111111  22222222  33333333
11111111            33333333
11111111  44444444  33333333
11111111  44444444 
          44444444  55555555
66666666  44444444  55555555
66666666  44444444  55555555
66666666            55555555
66666666  77777777  55555555
66666666  77777777  55555555
          77777777  55555555
88888888            55555555
88888888  99999999  55555555
88888888  99999999  55555555
...       ...       ...

That’s more extreme than what you are seeing and is really just illustrative – but you can see how the event which is 5th in the chronological sequence is at one point bordered to the left by the 7th in sequence … and such a thing is expected given the nature of the view.

Does that clarify things?

Yes it does, makes sense. There isn’t an easy way to change this? Probably shouldn’t worry about it then right?

[Barry]

Well, “easy” is relative 🙂

I’d probably count it as an advanced customization – but if you’re at home working with JS and CSS you could definitely give it a shot. That said, this is how the view is intended to work and unless it’s really confusing users I’d tend to think it’s not something to worry about.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
