    this might not work out of the box but it might give you some idea 

    
function my_em_wp_query(){
	$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'event',
		'posts_per_page' => 100,
		'meta_query' => array( 'key' => '_start_ts', 'value' => current_time('timestamp'), 'compare' => '>=', 'type'=>'numeric' ),
		'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
		'order' => 'ASC',
		'meta_key' => '_start_ts',
		'meta_value' => current_time('timestamp'),
		'meta_value_num' => current_time('timestamp'),
		'meta_compare' => '>='
	);

	// The Query
	$query = new WP_Query( $args );

	// The Loop
	while($query->have_posts()):
	$query->next_post();
	$id = $query->post->ID;
	echo '<li>';
	echo get_the_title($id);
	echo ' - '. get_post_meta($id, '_event_start_date', true);
	echo '</li>';
	endwhile;

	// Reset Post Data
	wp_reset_postdata();
}
add_shortcode('em_wp_query','my_em_wp_query');
