Admin Columns & Sorting¶
The Herodotus events list table (Herodotus → All Events) includes custom sortable columns.
Custom Columns¶
| Column | Content | Sortable |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Event title | ✅ Yes |
| Herodotus Date | Day + Month (e.g., "May 15") | ✅ Yes |
| Year | Historical year (e.g., "1969") | ✅ Yes |
| Categories | Assigned Herodotus categories | ❌ No |
Sorting Events¶
Click on the Herodotus Date or Year column header to sort events:
- Herodotus Date: Sorts by month first, then by day. Useful for seeing events in calendar order.
- Year: Sorts by historical year. Useful for finding the oldest or newest events.
Warning Icons¶
If an event is missing its date or year, the column shows a ⚠ icon instead of the date/year value. This alerts you that the event will not appear on the frontend.
Bulk Actions¶
Standard WordPress bulk actions (Edit, Move to Trash) work as expected with Herodotus events.
