I've had the same problem before (and reported it as a bug a few weeks
ago not realizing that I wasn't even the first one). This will
obviously happen with every plugin trying to change the post order.

For my page, I wrote a simple hack (but I think I switched the "Keep
events seperate" option off again later). Here's the hack attached but
please keep in mind: This _really_ is just a hack, It might not work
with whatever configuration details you have. Try at your own risk. I
can't 100% remember what the hack changed in full details but if
necessary I'll dig into this again, just drop me a line offlist.

Regards,
Mathias.

Here's the changes I made to ec3_filter_posts_orderby in
eventcalendar3.php:

/** Change the order of event listings (only advanced mode). */
function ec3_filter_posts_orderby(&$orderby)
{
  global $ec3;
//  $regexp='/\bwp_posts.post_date\b( DESC\b| ASC\b)?/i';
  $regexp='/\bwp_posts.post_date\b([^)]*\))( DESC\b| ASC\b)?/i';
  if($ec3->order_by_start && preg_match($regexp,$orderby,$match))
  {
    if($match[2] && $match[2]==' ASC')
      $orderby=preg_replace($regexp,'ec3_sch.start \1',$orderby);
    else
      $orderby=preg_replace($regexp,'ec3_sch.start \1 ASC',$orderby);
  }
  return $orderby;
}
