I must still be doing something wrong then
The [mod_rseventspro_calendar] has ID 138 and is set to Default ordering direction= "Descending". (closest date first)
The menu item for the Calendar is 549 and is also set to Default ordering direction= "Descending".
I understand I have to enter a Custom Itemid in the [mod_rseventspro_categories] for it to be orderen Descending. Which ID do I need to use; the mod calendar (138) or the menu item calendar (549)?
I've tried them both, but the ordering did not change...
