Event App 1.9 Calendar View Order by DateTime

Running into a time sort issue on perch_events_calendar view where events aren't sorted by time correctly. They are sorted by date properly.

Could this be a server issue? (I seem to recall in the old forums something about the default time on the server may cause a sorting issue.)

Can we use sort and sort order with perch_events_calendar like we can with perch_events_custom?

I tried but that didn't seem to make a change.

We're running Perch_Events 1.9 on Perch 2.7.3.

Which locale is your server set to?

When I check my server clock at /etc/sysconfig/clock

I get back

ZONE="America/Los_Angeles"

In /perch/config/config.php I have listed

define('PERCH_TZ', 'America/Los_Angeles');

Should it make any difference if the hardware clock on the server is on UTC time?

The clock makes no difference.

I also have this problem, events in the calendar are showing in the wrong order.

setlocale returns 'C', is that an issue?

Ok, that looks good. I don't have a quick fix to suggest, but I'm working on it.
