 * Hello,
 * I want to use this plug in to order posts that are events so I want an event 
   start and finish field and then to get the posts to show in the order in which
   they are happening.
 * I have seen bits and pieces on here about date pickers and some code but can’t
   figure out what I am meant to be doing with it all – should I be working out 
   a short code? Should i be making a new page template? I am pretty confused.
 * I have made a template that works :
 * [portfolio_date]
    label = Portfolio Date type = text date = true dateFormat =
   yyyy-mm-dd
 * Although it has no end date option but how do I now get posts with dates in to
   show in a ‘soonest event at the top’ order on a page?
 * Any help would be appreciated – I am sure it is something very simple that I 
   am jsut not understanding.
 * Thanks in advance
