- Description
Using PluginRSS (https://doc.tiki.org/PluginRSS) to display information from an external Tiki calendar events RSS feed, the events display most distant (ex: October) first, then September, then August. It's more logical and more typical to display the nearest upcoming event first and the ones farther in the future after that. That's the way the display works in the Upcoming Events module, which makes sense.
I don't see a way to change the sorting of events when configuring the plugin. In particular, if I limit the number of events displayed to 1, I would like the next, upcoming event to display, not the one that's several months away. I don't see anything in the docs (Feeds, Calendar, etc.) or the feature interface about controlling this.
The order is correct (closest event is first) in https://tiki.org/tiki-calendars_rss.php But when I use PluginRSS in a local wiki page, the order is reversed (most distant event is first). This is what seems to need correcting, or at least a sorting order parameter added.
