I am trying to: sort by date

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: trips in order by start date (you'll see the dates under titles)

Instead, I got: not sorted in ascending order.

Hi Stacey,

Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.

Based on the query filter settings shown in your screenshot, I performed a few tests on my test website and couldn't reproduce the issue.

From your website's debug information, I did notice that the "Post Types Order" plugin is active. This plugin is known to change the default order of post queries across the website and I'll suggest checking the view again, after temporarily disabling this plugin.

I hope this helps and please let me know how it goes.

regard,
Waqar
