My advice, for all the 5c its worht would ebt o do one of two things: a) use two different buttons b) useee more explicit labelling "Show Today" and "Show All" or, if interface space is really that tight that you can't afford the extra space, use a menu (either froma menu bar or a pop-up menu) with appropriate shortcut keys (ctrl+t and ctrl+a, for cinstance)
