I have added a new function into lots_of_small_helpers.php. It basically checks which category the post is in and if it is in a particular one it orders them by customer field (thank you to http://esdev.net/sort-events-by-date-in-wordpress-using-custom-fields/).
I would like to verify that within the Newscast theme it is ok to place it in that lots_of_small_helpers.php or should I place it in the functions.php.
Many thanks

Hi,
I actually did in a completely different way.
1. I created a post emaplte for the category I was working on.
2. I installed the plugin 'Date Field' http://matth.eu/wordpress-date-field-plugin. This enables a custom field to be created for your post with a date/time format.
3. Just before the loop I placedglobal $query_string;
query_posts($query_string. '&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=date_value&order=ASC' );Hope this helps someone.
