[EventCalendar] Big Calendar 5 - Read This

[Matthew Middleton]

That's correct, I made it sort by start date only in
database queries done by the plugin itself.  This is
done when returning a list of events or drawing a
calendar.  When you use The Loop in a custom query,
you are querying the posts rather than the events. 
(One post may have multiple events, or have no events)

Stay tuned for "Big Calendar 6" - which I will
hopefully post soon.  It will have several new
features including recurring event support.  Since one
post may have hundreds of recurring events, you may
want an option for a custom query on events rather
than posts.  I haven't implemented this feature yet,
but I may do so in the future.  I did make some
changes to The Loop to support posts with recurring
events - I will provide a full changelog with the
patch.
