Event items ordering

Hello - I am using Joomla's most recent version.
Here is the page concerned. http://www.novascotiaheritageconference.ca/events/

I cannot get the 2 items showing to sort by oldest first. I have tried changing the Item ordering setting within the "Other layout options" for the 07 Wednesday category but with no luck. It is currently set for Oldest First (by create date)

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

From what I see the older is first (08 Thursday) then never (09 Friday).

I need them sorted WITHIN a category. 07 Wednesday is a category. By whatever sorting method, it does not matter but items need to be chronological order within a category.

Even if I have to sort them manually, it is necessary to be able to have them in order by their time.

Is this an unreasonable request, to be able to sort within a category? Is it a bug with K2? A bug with the template? A bug with me?

1. Please do not bump your questions - it makes you wait longer.
2. Where do I need to click to see this event? Could you please provide link directly to such a page where this issue occurs? I guess it is a problem with settings but I need to see the page (with the problem) first.

The link was in the original post but here it is again for you: http://www.novascotiaheritageconference.ca/events/. Please see 07 Wednesday as example.

Ok, now I understand. This is part of the code that is hardcoded into template. I'll ask our devteam how to change it and will write back as soon as I'll get an answer.

Thank you!

Not easy change:
templates/gk_events/html/com_k2/templates/events/category.php
In this file you need to find:

Code: Select all

                              <div class="itemList">
                                        <?php if($this->params->get('latestItemsDisplayEffect')=="first"): ?>
                                        <?php foreach ($block->items as $itemCounter=>$item): K2HelperUtilities::setDefaultImage($item, 'latest', $this->params); ?>
                                        <?php if($itemCounter==0): ?>
                                        <?php
                                 $this->item = $item;
                                 echo $this->loadTemplate('item' . ($this->params->get('latestItemsCols') > 1 ? '2' : ''));
                              ?>
                                        <?php else: ?>
                                        <h2 class="itemTitleList">
                                                  <?php if ($item->params->get('latestItemTitleLinked')): ?>

                                                  <?php else: ?>

                                                  <?php endif; ?>
                                        </h2>
                                        <?php endif; ?>
                                        <?php endforeach; ?>
                                        <?php else: ?>
                                        <?php foreach ($block->items as $item): K2HelperUtilities::setDefaultImage($item, 'latest', $this->params); ?>
                                        <?php

                                    $this->item=$item;
                                    echo $this->loadTemplate('item' . ($this->params->get('latestItemsCols') > 1 ? '2' : ''));
                                 ?>
                                        <?php endforeach; ?>
