Hello,

Is this for the list of events in the admin area of JEvents? You would at the very least need a core override to change this which would be lost on updates.

Or is this for an admin area you have in the front end using the latest events module?

Many thanks
Tony

p.s. if you are referring to the backend list of events you will need to change line 301 of administrator/components/com_jevents/controllers/icalevent.php from

$order = JFactory::getApplication()->getUserStateFromRequest("eventsorder", "filter_order", 'start');

to

$order = JFactory::getApplication()->getUserStateFromRequest("eventsorder", "filter_order", 'created');

Also change the default sort direction from asc to desc on line 300 of the same file.

Keep a note of your changes so you don't loose them when you upgrade JEvents.
