What is the meta key for start date?
`
$args2 = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘espresso_events’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘start_date’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
‘post__in’ => (count($mergeLocation) > 0 ? $mergeLocation : [0]),
‘paged’ => $page,
);
Currently this code does not show the events.

Hi there,
The start date for an event isn’t actually stored in a meta_key on the event post. Those are stored in the esp_datetime database table, and can be retrieved using the models system. You can review an example of how the Event Espresso widget does its query which includes ordering by the datetime start date:
