I ended up putting the day of the week after the date so it would sort correctly. My 4 day event starts on a Thursday and that was the only way to get the day to display and have it in order. September 22 (Thursday)
Classic events had including the day of the week as an option, not sure why it isn't an option in Flex. Classic also had a tabbed agenda widget, which was wonderful for a multiday event with a lot of sessions.
Custom fields works, but then they display after the session description if you have the custom fields display, which looks strange. You can't choose some of the fields to display and others to be hidden, at least as far as I have tried.

Hi Madeline,
Can you explain a little further? I'm not sure I understand how the Custom Session Field will help. Are you talking about entering the information as text? If so, when you sort it, it will sort alphabetically, right? Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will show in the correct order, but Thursday will not. Maybe I'm not understanding the fix correctly.
Thanks.
Jill

Hi Shonda,
Great question! We can accomplish this by creating a Custom Session Field. The Custom Field would require you to enter in the preferred formatting of the date and time into each session. We can then use this Custom Session Field to sort/display on the agenda.

Basically the title!
I have a 4-day event and I'm trying to list the day of the weeks alongside the dates on the header. So it should display "Monday, September 19, 2022" instead of just "September 19, 2022." I'm using the Agenda Widget. Does anyone know a way to add the days of the week and still keep the sessions in chronological order by date/time? I saw a similar question was asked previously, but I was hoping there was a recent workaround since that question was asked over a year ago. Appreciate any tips that people have.
Thanks!
