Question

I’m embedding dates from google calendar into a website, and it’s all working, with the exception of sorting. For some reason, it sorts into reverse-chronological order, when I’d really just like it to be normal chronological (first event first).

this is the output:

August 11th: Intern depart  
August 6th: Last Day of Summer Camp
July 7th: Ignore this 
July 6th: This is another example event 
July 5th: example 
June 28th: Summer Camp Starts 
June 24th: Summer Pool Party 
June 21st: Intern arrival date 
June 15th: Assistant Director Arrival Date 
June 14th: Director's training begins 
May 26th: Brainstorm day for directors 

I’m really still just learning a lot of this stuff- thanks for the help in advance!

Add &sortorder=descending to your feed URL. You can find documentation for this in the FAQ
