[EventCalendar] Ordering problem: categories

[Helene Zisook Speer]

Johan, you have just helped me immensely!

I had my categories set up in exactly the same way.

There seems to be an issue with "regular" archive pages.  If I click on 
April in the calendar, my events do not sort by event date.  But if I 
make a query page like yours, using "ec3_after" and "ec3_before" to 
make my April page, the sort works fine.

So I either have to change the calendar link or find a fix for the 
regular archive pages.

Thanks so much!

-Helene
