   A WordPress site I'm working on includes an events diary page that lists each upcoming event as a separate post.

   I need the posts to display in order of the event date which is in the title (eg: 1st August 2009).

   Obviously if I arrange the posts alphabetically it won't appear as desired (as 1st March would appear after 1st August for example), likewise if I arrange by date it will arrange by date the post was published (editing the post's published date/timestamp won't work either due to scheduling)

   Any ideas of the best way to achieve this?

   Try adding the events dates to a custom field and then use query_posts to set up The Loop to display the posts in date order.

   might give you some ideas.

   That's wonderful - Custom field's worked like a charm.

   It threw me off for a while as the order seemed completly random... then I realised it was set to american date format rather than British :)
