Display events in start date order instead of published date order

I am using this code but it’s not working. What arguments and value can I use instead?
$args[‘post_type’] = ‘tribe_events’;
$args[‘start_date’] = ‘now’;
$args[‘orderby’] = ‘_start_date’;
$args[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;

For event start date use _EventStartDate. This will solved problem,

I used this function

function( $query ) {
$meta_query = (array)$query->get( 'meta_query' );
    $query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );
	$query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘meta_value’ );
	$query->set( ‘meta_key’, ‘_EventStartDate’ );
	$query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ );
});

Thanks for your reply!
I don’t know how to use this code in my code…

I am doing this to build my list of events:

$args = array(‘posts_per_page’ => 7);
$args[‘post_type’] = ‘tribe_events’;

How can I use your code in my code?
Thank you!

Hi there,

You could make use of our Events List widget to achieve the results you want. You can read more about it here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/configuring-the-event-list-widget/
