Thanks for that. If that orderby parameter has always been there.
It hasn't always been there. Not sure precisely when we first added it (or when you were working on your code), but it's been there since at least September.
I downloaded the Zend Framework, but couldn't make heads or tails on how to get started with it (it seems a little massive), so I kept with my approach.
Yes, the Framework as a whole is pretty large, but the GData and Atom/APP components aren't that big. We're working on some sample code/tutorials for them, so hopefully that will lessen the learning curve. Zend does also have some sample code distributed with the library, a mailing list for the GData components, and some documentation if you haven't seen it: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.calendar.html You could probably use the JSON data, but it would still require you to keep track of events you've already displayed (if you wanted to prevent showing a recurring event for each occurrence). The JSON data is essentially the same data as is presented in the XML feeds, only in JSON format, so you'd still have to do any transformations of the data like you do in your PHP code-- only it could be done client-side if you wanted.

As far as the API goes, I haven't looked at it since last spring, but if I ever give it another shot I will be sure to share any frustrations with you.

Thanks for that. If thatorderbyparameter has always been there... I spent a good amount of time debugging ordering problems with my code for nothing. But still very good to know, maybe now I can trim off quite a bit of code. The JSON stuff looks awesome actually, but I'm betting that I couldn't use it for my calendar because recurring events would show up more than once on the list.
