How to sort bookings by event date?

Hello,
I am in the process of setting up this plugin and I can’t figure how to make this thing to work.

I want to list bookings ordered by event dates – not by Booking ID as is set in default. It is the same table which is in admin view in dashboard (Events – Bookings (The Booking Table screenshot on this page https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/manage-attendees/) or in a front-end management page defined in Events – Settings – Pages – Front-end management pages).

Default list ordering option under Events > Settings > Pages > Other Pages as mentioned here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/order-my-booking-table-according-to-date?replies=7 doesn’t work for this table (it should work for user bookings list probably not for admin bookings list)

I tried to hack em-bookings-table.php replacing original public $orderby = ‘booking_name’; with public $orderby = ‘event_date’; with no success.

Or is this limitation of free version and in pro it is possible?

Anyone could help with this?

Many thanks in advance!
