Problem with News "sort by expiry date"

[slooodge]

Hi,
I am using the news module as a calendar and would like to have the items sorted by the expiry date. Somehow this does not work?
In the backend the news are actually sorted but not in the frontend?!?

Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

THANKS, Hannes

Okay, i checked it out, and it is possible to do, but the documentation didn't say it:

Code: Select all

{news sortby='end_time'}

will sort in descending order by the end_time (or expiry date).
   

Code: Select all

{news sortby='end_time' sortasc='true'}

will display the above listing reversed.  I've changed the help string, and News 2.6 will be released tomorrow.
