 * I know this question has been asked many times, but I can’t make head nor tails
   of most of the threads.
 * I need to sort my posts by expiration date, with the post expiring soonest to
   be listed first.
 * Unfortunately I do not have access to the ftp, so I need a solution that can 
   be done on page or in appearance>editor. Thank you much.

 * Hello,
 * You can use a specific function for this. The expiration date is stored in the
   database within the postmeta field : _expiration-date
    So you just have to create
   a page with this function integrated in. Just be careful as the date info is 
   stored in a unix format. Regards Pat
