Hi,

when using "Sort by Date" in the Project Thumbnail Grid block, the sort order is hardcoded to DESC, meaning the post with the farthest future date appears first. For event-based sites, the expected behavior is the opposite: the nearest upcoming date should appear first, in ascending order.

The fix is a one-line change in frontend/assets/php/elements/thumbnailgrid_functions.php at the two places where $order is set:

Current:
if( $orderby == 'menu_order' || $orderby == 'post_title' ) {
$order = 'ASC';
}

Suggested fix:
if( $orderby == 'menu_order' || $orderby == 'post_title' || $orderby == 'post_date' ) {
$order = 'ASC';
}

Ideally this could also be a configurable option in the block editor, for example "Sort by Date ascending" vs. "Sort by Date descending", similar to the existing "Reverse Order" button.

Thank you!

hey! Oh yeah, this is a very good call and an amazing idea. I will implement this, and it will be included with the next update. Thanks for the heads up.

[arminunruh]

well, probably I can't just change the default order, but i will insert a new setting for this

[arminunruh]

this is what it will look like

Thanks so much Armin!
