Important: This article is specifically for the Events Calendar plugin which was originally the plugin of choice for use with Total. Unfortunately this plugin has become extremely bloated and not up to par with our coding standards. For this reason we created our own Just Events plugin (free) which we recommend instead.
By default the Events Calendar plugin sorts events by start date when showing events on any custom loop, however, if it’s not working you can always manually set the element to sort by Meta Key with a value of _EventStartDate (or use _EventEndDate to sort by end date).
Note: If you are using your own Custom Field simply change _EventStartDate with your custom field name.
