I'm trying to create a page where upcoming events are listed in order of date, ascending. (It'll be on the front page, it's just an upcoming events teaser but in the main content area.)

It should be easy - make a frontpage view that overrides the standard one, and pull out all events that are published and marked for the front page .... then sort that view by event date ascending .... right?

Well there's no way to sort by event start date, only by start TIME, which does us no good. (It sorts by the start time of the event, say 8:00 AM, rather than the date).

This should be a no-brainer, but I haven't found the answer anywhere!

Plz halp!!! :-D

I too am having the same problem. The simplest way I found to put the events on the front page in the order I want is to adjust the TIME OF SUBMISSION. The events are sorted by date and time of submision, latest one first.
There really should be a way to apply a weight to the teaser items on the page.

I don't think this is related, but I tried to make a view and have it sorted by Event Start Date, descending. I noticed Event fields were not present in the Sort drop-down. SO I enabled the Events_view module, and then those filters were available.

Where does this module you are referencing exist? I don't see such a thing available anywhere.
I have a view that is listing my events but I can't sort by start date.

thanks in advance for any help
