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.
