I have the Creative Web Site Package installed and I am trying to get events sorted by Event Date. I will also want to seperate News and Events ... but that's the next job;)

I tried adding "EventDate" to the "Sort By List" data type and selecting it in the News & Events page (Settings tab). However, the events still display in the order I entered them:(

Is it possible to sort by event date? I can't rely on the eventual users to sort the events themselves, within the admin site, it needs to be done on the Event date.

Hello Gordan,
I have seen your email to me and I am currently will be revisiting my package.

To sort by the eventDate you will have to manually change the XSLT that lists the items.

If you change this line in ListNewsEvents.xslt



If the XSLT shows/gives an error in the Umbraco interface, tick the checkbox to skip error checking and then test to see if this works.

The XSLT I have given you has not been tested and is just off the top of my head.
