        • Date: Some time after Event 1, let's say June 20 2017

        • Date: Some time in the future, but before Event 1 and 2, let's say May 19 2017
      7. Visit the page /calendar/view.php but make sure there's no extra stuff on the end of it
      8. Verify the events are listed in chronological order (i.e., Event 3, Event 1, Event 2)

    Description

      The get_events method in the event vault orders events by timesort and id. Not all events have timesort set (site and user events, for example) so in these cases the events end up sorted by ID.

      calendar_get_legacy_events is intended to be a drop in replacement for calendar_get_events but also take in to consideration action events, so it uses all the new plumbing but maps the returned events back to the old "stdClass-ish" ones.

      The problem is that the original calendar_get_events sorted events on timestart - so everything always sorted properly, but now it ends up on ID since {{timesort} is null.
