A cron to do this once a day at midnight would be fine

I second that idea.

Okay in the Forum view, is there a way to force the listing of event thread in order of event date. So regardless of a new post or new event thread they stay in chronological order?

Why is that impossible BUT sorting the events in the "summary box" is done by date? Why not just use the same sorting function/code from that?

Having the events all over the place and with dates in no specific order makes one hell of a mess on a forum that depends on "date sorted" events...


the easy way of fixing this issue for some of us would be to simply revert back to the old way of creating threads -> embedding the date into the thread title at creation/update time and inserting it into the database like that (so it's not just "virtually added" and goes missing once the thread is moved to another forum). that way we could still sort threads alphabetically, and that would get us threads sorted by dates (with a proper date format).
