# Shortcode order display

 * Hi!
 * I use [Virtue Theme](https://www.kadencewp.com/product/virtue-premium-theme/)
   and their short code [kad_blog orderby=date items=4 fullpost=false cat=aktuellt]
   to display current posts including events.
 * My problem arises when I mix posts and events. They are listed in the order they
   were created, but I want “Make publication date the same as the event date” to
   mean they end up after the date they occur.
 * As explained above, I’ve tried to use the “Make publication date the same as 
   the event date” but it doesn’t help. Maybe this is a similar problem as this 
   one: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publication-date-for-repeat-events-not-working/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publication-date-for-repeat-events-not-working/)
 * I have also contacted the Virtue Theme developer, but actually their Plugin works
   correctly (change the order if you want by changing the date of publication).
 * Have a nice day!

 * The default of QEM is to set the post to the date created not the event date.
   This can be overridden by Settings>Event Manager – Settings Tab

 * This works for single events ( not repeating events at the moment – there is 
   a development change required )
   Unfortunately this does not work retrospectively,
   but is you don’t have too many events you can manually go to event – Quick Edit
   and change the publication date.e.g.

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for working on a Saturday 😉
 * The thing is, that when you mix events and posts with the short code [kad_blog
   orderby=date items=4 fullpost=false cat=aktuellt] it’s not working. I posted 
   [](https://www.omtanken.eu/2023/11/11/julerbjudanden-ma/)[Julerbjudanden MÅ](https://www.omtanken.eu/2023/11/11/julerbjudanden-ma/)(
   as a post) today, and it ends ut after the events.

 * Hi, as you know all free support for free plugins is voluntary so I fit it in
   when I have time, Saturdays included.
   I’m not really clear what you are doing
   or expected results.What I can see looks like descending date sequence.Perhaps
   you can share some screen shots of your admin pages showing the relevant ‘post’
   dates.This is what I see
