 * I’ve read a few posts about displaying events chronologically and as I understand
   it the sorting is by the end date but I need it to sort by the start date.
 * I tried your suggestion of changing ‘key’ => ‘event-date’, to ‘key’ => ‘event-
   start-date’, but then it doesn’t display all the events.
 * I thought about changing the end date to the same as the start date but then 
   it doesn’t display some of the events when the date is already past.
 * Have you modified the plugin yet so it could be sorted by the date the event 
   was created or is there some other way around this?

 * Hi,
 * Changing the key is one of several steps in order to display them in correct 
   order, because you should adjust all if-statements in the shortcode files as 
   well. Lots of work.
 * I’m not planning to change this because in my opinion it’s build like it should
   be: containing start- and enddate. In case both are the same, just set the same
   start- and enddate.
