 * That is something that requires you to filter the query for the event posts. 
   You can use `pre_get_posts` and filter it based on the `tribe-events` post type
   and then set the order argument to descending rather than ascending.
 * Cheers!

 * Thanks. I’m kind to this, but where can I find this pre_get_posts script? This
   is no built it with the plugin?
