 * Hi,
 * I am using your plugin to display upcoming events to wich people can RSVP.
    On
   my frontpage I have a query to display 5 events. I want to order them bu event
   date (so not the normal wordpress postdate but the date that the event will be
   on).
 * The closest event above and the most far (of the 5) below.
 * How can I do this?
 * <?php query_posts( ‘post_type=event’ . ‘&**orderby=date**&order=ASC&posts_per_page
   =5′); ?>
 * Thanks,
    Maartje
