Sorting Experiences: Manual or Chronological

In this article, you’ll learn how to organize the display order of your experiences within streams — either manually via drag & drop or automatically by event date, depending on how you want to present your content.

1. Individual Streams
2. Chronological Streams
3. How to switch between sorting types
4. Final comparison: Individual vs. Chronological

🔀 Two Types of Streams – What’s the Difference?

1. Individual Streams

These streams are ideal if you want full control over the order of your experiences — e.g. based on seasonality, relevance, or themes.

• Sort manually via drag & drop

• Works with all visible experiences, including:

  • Those with scheduled events

  • Those with availabilities

  • Purely informational content (e.g. check-in info, breakfast times)

📍 You can adjust the order by going to CMS > Streams > Edit Stream

💡 Tip:
Always place seasonal highlights, popular activities, or last-minute offers at the top of your stream for maximum visibility!

2. Chronological Streams

These are ideal for your weekly program or any stream that should show upcoming events automatically.

• Sorted automatically by event date

• Requires each experience to have at least one upcoming event

• Experiences without future events won’t be shown

🧠 Advantage:
Your stream always stays up-to-date without needing manual updates.

🔄 How to Switch from Individual to Chronological

1. Go to CMS > Streams

2. Click on the three dots (⋮) next to your desired stream

3. Select “Edit Stream”

4. Change the sorting method from “Individual” to “Chronological”

5. Click “Save changes”

✅ Done! Your stream will now be sorted automatically by event date in the ExperienceApp.
