I am trying to: sort a view by custom field called "Entry Date" for the view called "Current Entries"

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

The page is a private page, so you will need login to see.

I expected to see: data sorted by date and time.

Instead, I got: It is only sorting on date (not time). Also the secondary sorting doesn't work at all.

Please provide us log in data if we need to log in to see the issue

Please make sure the Fields you filter or order by are real numbers and not mixed values
If you sort by a field that has mixed values like SAT123 then it'll fail.

After we know what field type, on what View (link to the backend) produces what wrong result on the front end we will be able to confirm if this is the issue.

Hi Rob

Your "Entry Date" field is a Types date field with the option to input date and time, yes?

I just set up something similar on my local test site to double-check it is working correctly with current plugin versions and it does seem to be.

You can see the ordering settings for my View (custom field is "start time") in the screenshot.

What settings do you have?
