Hi Benjamin. The 'sort' attribute specifies which gm:sort control, if any, should be applied to a list after its initial pull. Consider a simple listing of titles and ratings. If I initially want to sort my list by title, I should specify 'titleSort' in the list's 'sort attribute:
<gm:list data="${myData}" sort="titleSort"> <gm:sort name="titleSort" ref="atom:title"/> <gm:sort name="ratingSort" ref="gmd:rating/@value"/> </gm:list>
I can use a gm:header control or GME's JavaScript API to change the list's sort order by specifying the name of the second sorter ("ratingSort" in this example).

Hi Jason,
this thread triggers another question and possibly request. According to the tag reference, "a gm:sort tag must be present as a child of the gm:list element to enable sorting.". Why is a sort attribute necessary to reference the sorter when a gm:sort element is present? XSLT allows sorting with just the xsl:sort element inside e.g. xsl:apply-templates or xsl:for-each. Isn't that tautologous and the attribute could be omitted?

Hi, and welcome to the group! Your first problem can be solved by inserting a gm:sort tag before the opening and closing tags of your list module:
<gm:list id="myList" data="${eventCal}" sort="dateSort" template="events"> <gm:sort name="dateSort" ref="gd:when/@startTime" /> </gm:list>
Your events should now appear in order, earliest to most recent. (You can add a 'reverse' attribute to gm:sort to display the most recent events first.) Moving on to your second issue: at present, your date and time display options are limited to displaying the full date string using gm:date or gm:text, but we are planning to expand these options greatly in a future release. Thanks for your patience!

I have been working with the details sample in order to make a simple interactive event list. I have two problems, first I recently added a event to google calendar and now it shows the events out of order. Secondly I can't figure out how to get a readable time format, similar to agenda view. I am looking to have a list of five events and a details section when one event is selected. This is what I havehttp://uwpivcalweb.googlemashups.com/ but this is what I want:
Calendar Monday Event 1 Friday Event 2 Jul 4 Event 3 Aug 23 Event 4 Dec 25 Event 5
--------------------------------------- Event 2 Location: over there Time: 6:00am - 10:00pm Short description of the event, taken from the calendar feed.- Hide quoted text -
