It’s been a couple of days but figured I would add the solution I came up with in case anyone finds similar issues.

if( ! empty( $edate1)){    $adate1 = $edate1}; // needs the semicolon INSIDE the closing bracket.

$adate1 = date('Ymd',$element1->$post_date); // needs to use "strtodate()"
// >>  $adate1 = date('Ymd',strtodate($element1->$post_date));

'->$post_date'  & '->$ID' // - needs the $ taken off it

//also changed strcmp to use if statement with explicit returns 0, -1, 1.

Thanks Tobias.
I need to learn how to use hooks etc. Currently I can do bits and pieces with php and have updated the file accordingly, but as you say that is not a good way to work. I’ve tweaked a few of my plugins this way (with two or three lines of code modified) and now – as you say – I’m stuck with out of date versions. Would be good to run a comparison with the “stock” code to remind myself of what changes I’ve made and then implement hooks as you suggest to replicate the function.
Do you know of any good resources which will give me exercises etc on the use of hooks and filters etc?

Perhaps making a single column into editable textareas rather than uneditable text, with a “save” link at the bottom of the table would be the neatest solution.
