    Is there a way to add a custom placeholder like #_MYOWNPLACEHOLDER? I could not find the answer in forum. Thanks a lot!

    While creating shortcodes is fairly easy if you know wordpress, creating placeholders is in fact just a search/replace in existing text. I don’t know what you want to achieve, but look at the available filters/hooks for this.

    I want the result of #_BOOKINGS sorted by the field #_RESPNAME. I guess easiest would be to create my own placeholder for that.

    Using one of the filters, it’s easy to create own placeholders. The following example was for testing, it simply replaces the placeholder #_MYPLACEHOLDER with the text HERE IS MY OWN PLACEHOLDER:

    add_filter( 'eme_events_format_prefilter', 'zzp_eme_events_format_prefilter', 10, 2 );
function zzp_eme_events_format_prefilter ( $format, $event ) {
	$format = str_replace( '#_MYPLACEHOLDER', '<div>HERE IS MY OWN PLACEHOLDER</div>', $format );
	return $format;
}

    Thanks for your hint, Franky!
