Changing the Display Order of Posts
I am using News Manager to display upcoming events on a web page. I want the event this weekend to be at the top of the page, then next week's and so on, eg in date order, but the date of the event, not the date of the post which will be quite different.
To achieve this I am just bodging the publish date and time in Post Options to the reverse of the order I want, and not showing the post date by display:none; in the css. It works, but is there a more elegant way of controlling the order of posts on the page so that my client can manage the page herself?
I know there are a few calendar and events plugins but I don't think they will display the events as i want them. the prototype page is temporarily here:
