wait…can you use this [gigpress_shows group_artists=no] to sort by date instead of artist? is that what you’re looking to do?

Oh man…that’s what it was! I put n instead of j for displaying the dates so it was displaying the numeric month instead of day!

Thanks!!!!

That’s the crazy thing. I didn’t open the file. I just exported from one GigPress installation then immediately imported to another. I only opened the csv file afterwards to check the date format when the dates weren’t displaying properly after import.

Here’s some of the file from a text editor:
Date,Time,End date,Artist,Artist URL,Venue,Address,City,State,Postal code,Country,Venue phone,Venue URL,Admittance,Price,Ticket URL,Ticket phone,External URL,Notes,Tour,Status,Related ID,Related URL

Thanks @westonjeff. The csv files came directly from a GigPress export so should already have the proper format. When I open the csv file the dates are in the correct format.

Does choosing Afrikanns do something special with the formatting if it’s already yyyy-mm-dd? Is there an equivalent to this process in Numbers or Open Office? I don’t have Excel.

Thanks! That worked. ??

this happens to me as well. every time I go in to edit the text for one of the videos any html tags are converted to ascii characters and unless I delete them and replace with the correct characters I originally type I’ll get the gobbeldy-gook on the live site.
