Sorry if I mislead you,
The subcategory sorting option is called "Sub-category ordering" and it is located under the category view options.

The problem is that I'm confused with the K2 admin for the categories.... or my K2 is confused ....
Anyway I selected "Ordering" everywhere, with no result for the sub-categories ordering, and now, once more for the items.

My structure :
Root category : The Festival
Sub-categories : 2014 - 2013 - 2012 - 2011 ....
Items : Group A - Group B - Group C .....

THE PROBLEMS :
1 - In the K2 admin of the root category "Festivals" , I select "Ordering" for " Sub-category ordering" => Doesn't work (but reverse ordering of the sub-categories)

2 - For the first year (sub-category 2014) , I select "ordering" for "Item ordering" (and for "Sub-category ordering ... in case ...) => Doesn't work (but reverse ordering of the items).
Strangely, the items of the first sub-category (2014) are not correcly sorted in frontend (but reverse), and all the others, with inherit parameters from the sub-category 2014 are correct !

I become crazy with this problem.

Dear Krikor,

I am on latest Joomla and K2. Where I can send you my admin privileges just to take fast look. Won't ordering.

ThX

Sorry but are you ignoring my problem with ordering? Can you help or not?

Thank you.

I asked you what where your settings in the backend.
You never replied. You have to keep in mind that this is an open-source project and I do not have the privilege to offer 24/7 nor this level of personalised support. If I accepted credentials from each user, the tickets would probably never be answered.

I completely agree with you and i am sorry. It wont happen again.

My sett. are "ordering", I answered you few days ago, but for menu I am not sure.
So if you wanna take a look I 'll be grateful.

But there is no response... I tried few options but nothing. Changing category K2 sett, and Item sett, but nothing.
No respond.

Thank you

There 's no need to bee sorry :)
Sometimes people forget what open source and different timezones mean (this is meant not for you).

Hi
I just found the solution to sort the items in category blog : I didn't notice the field "Item ordering" in the menu manager, for the link to a K2 category.
And it seems to have priority, before the category ordering parameter.
That's why my first category was not sorted correctly, and the others were inherit from this one.

However, I still can't change the ordering of the sub-categories list. (2014, 2013, 2012 ...).

The menu item will override the settings of the category.
The subcategory handling options are located under the category's parameters.

Did you change these as well?

I selected "Ordering" everywhere, in :
- the Menu link/Option/ Item ordering
- the category and sub-catgory parameters of the main and all sub-categories (Festivals/2014-2013-2012...).
But, as I said, the items were sorted correctly, but the sub-categories were not.

Now, I just selected "Inherit from the category" for the main category menu link ... and IT WORKS !

As you said "The menu item will override the settings of the category." I would like to understand why it doesn't work for me, in case I need this information later.
