   I'm trying to create some kind of Event list but I don't like any of the Event Calendar Plugins. So, basically, what I would like is this:

   when creating a new post, I'd like to add some kind of date-tag. So that, if I add a post later on with a more recent date-tag, it shows up before the previously entered posts.

   I hope this explanation is sufficient, but let me clarify with an example:

   POST ONE - about an event on November 10
   POST TWO - about an event on November 30

   I then add POST THREE which is about an event on November 5.
   I would like my posts to display like this:

   POST THREE
   POST ONE
   POST TWO

   How can I achieve this?

   Sorry for not quite answering your question here, but if you don't need the published date for other posts on your site, I recommend having a look at this plug-in
   The Future Is Now.

   I used it for this site and found it really good for being able to customize a lot using the functions that are already present in the Loop. You can query for posts and sort the order ASC, make lists of past events and so on.

   Thanks for the link, that is interesting indeed. I think I'll use that as well.

   For anyone interested in how to solve my problem, here's how it's done using meta-data (custom fields).
