Reply To: Can't put events in date order in search results

Well this is a tough one, but I guess the best approach is via a custom code.

Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_filter("asp_query_args", "asp_query_args_apply_date", 10, 2);
function asp_query_args_apply_date($args, $search_id) {
	$args['post_meta_filter'][] = array(
		'key'     => 'mec_end_date',
		'value'   => date("Y-m-d"),
		'operator' => '>',
		'allow_missing' => false
	);
	return $args;
}

I don’t know if this is going to do anything, but it should remove any items from the results, which have the end date before the current date.
