[EventCalendar] Ordering issues

I think I may have figured out why some of us are reporting events not  
ordering by event time on the big calendar and the sidebar calendar  
popup.  I apologize if this is wrong or if it's a known issue.  Also  
it could be considered too specialized a case to be an issue, but I  
don't think so!

Here's my example:

On Saturday, there are two movies showing.  "Feature" is showing at  
5:00 and 8:00.  "Classic Matinee" is showing at 2:00.  My calendar day  
is ordering like this:

5:00 Feature
8:00 Feature
2:00 Classic Matinee

The reason for this is that Feature is also showing on Friday, the day  
before, and Classic Matinee is not.

To test this, I added a time for Classic Matinee on Thursday, thereby  
making the first event time of Classic Matinee before the first event  
time of Feature.  Once I did this, the Saturday events were ordered  
properly:

2:00 Classic Matinee
5:00 Feature
8:00 Feature

This also brings up another issue: the sorting seems to be happening  
by event, rather than by event occurrence.  So I put in two test  
events, both occurring on the same single day.  Test Feature 1 happens  
at 9:00 and 11:00, and Test Feature 2 happens at 10:00.  This is what  
I got:

9:00 Test Feature 1
11:00 Test Feature 1
10:00 Test Feature 2

So it seems to me that the problem for me is that I want the listing  
to be not of events, but of incidences of events.

Does this make sense?

Thanks,

-Helene
