Nice work sir! I dig it!
Hi! Good work!
I wonder if it would be possible to sort the entries descendently, I’m using the pluging to show a schedule of a cultural NGO center but appears first the newest activities and I would like that appears firstly the olders. How can I do it?
Thanks a lot!
There is currently no widget option that allows for different sorting options (other than random). I can definitely add that option.
Thank you for your answer
No problem. I’m glad you like the plugin. I updated it so you should be able to change the sort order now.
