Thanks. > Couldn't you use the published date to order the events instead of reorder? > Although, I personally haven't tried much with dates in the future. I was under the impression that if a page has a publishing date set in the future, it would only become visible on the site from that date onwards. Now that you mention it, I'm not sure if this is true in Radiant, although it is the case with another CMS that I have used. I did wonder about adding a field, called "occurs_on", and using it in the way you described above, but in the end I thought it simpler to just use the Reorder extension. > I think people would find Wrappits useful. > To get it in the core, you should fork Radiant and integrate it into your > branch so that it is even easier than applying a patch.

But I'd certainly vote for it to be part of the core. Thanks for the advice (and the vote!). My original patch included tests, but now that Radiant has moved on to specs I guess it has gone stale. I will try forking Radiant, and translating my tests into specs. Does anyone know a rough schedule for the next release?
