title: Trying to reorder posts by event date
body: <p>I'm using "the events calendar" plugin in WP which has a feature to allow event posts to show up as regular posts. I currently have a slider on my homepage that I would like to show featured events on. I was able to get it to show events as a "featured" category, but am having trouble ordering it by event date instead of publish date. This is what I have now.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the original code just calling the specific category posts</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;?php query_posts ('category_name=' .$slide.'&amp;posts_per_page='.$bvkPP.'&amp;paged='.$paged ); ?&gt;         
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what I changed it to</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;?php query_posts( array ('category_name=' .$slide.'&amp;posts_per_page='.$bvkPP.'&amp;paged='.$paged, 'orderby' =&gt; 'meta_value','meta_key' =&gt;'_EventStartDate','order' =&gt; 'ASC',) ); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This affectively ordered it by event date, but has overridden the category and is just calling for all events. Any thoughts on how to get just the specific category to show up?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
