Hi.

I have a page with a list of events ordered by the start date, but not the start time: http://dppad.com/demo/orlandophil/?page_id=24

The code that produces this list is:

<code>global $post, $wp_query;
                    // define some arguments for our Event Espresso query
                    $args = array(
                            &#039;post_type&#039; =&gt; &#039;espresso_event&#039;,
                            &#039;meta_key&#039; =&gt; &#039;event_start_date&#039;,
                            &#039;posts_per_page&#039; =&gt; -1,
                            &#039;meta_query&#039; =&gt; array(
                                array(
                                    &#039;key&#039; =&gt; &#039;event_start_date&#039;,
                                    &#039;value&#039; =&gt; date(&#039;Y-m-d&#039;),
                                    &#039;compare&#039; =&gt; &#039;&gt;=&#039;, // compares the event_start_date against today&#039;s date so we only display events that haven&#039;t happened yet
                                    &#039;type&#039; =&gt; &#039;DATE&#039;
                                    )
                                ),
                            &#039;orderby&#039; =&gt; &#039;meta_value&#039;,
                            &#039;order&#039; =&gt; &#039;ASC&#039; // change this to ASC if you want newer events on top
                        );</code>

Can you recommend a modification to the query that will order the events by start date, but also by start time (so that matinee performances will appear before their corresponding evening performance).

Thanks.
