Calendar widget shows events in the order of creation _not_ in the order of schedule

[kubuntu-newbie]

Steps to reproduce

Create 6 events that all belong to the same calendar (calendar 1) so they show up on the widget (making widget full) Create a new event in the same calendar (calendar 1) that is supposed to occur before the first event from the group before

all events could be on the same day or different days

Expected behavior

all events show up in the order of the time of their occurence / schedule, with the new event showing up before the 5 from original 6

Actual behaviour

this new event will not show up on the widget at all note 1: if you now change to what calendar event belongs to (for example to calendar 2) it will show up

note 2: not to make it too complicated, but another test case - first 6 events belong to 2 different calendars and for as long as the new event is also in one of the original 2 calendars it will not show up even though it's the earliest of 7. Changing new event's calendar to a new calendar (calendar 3) will make it show up in the dashboard.

Additional info

this bug makes it very difficult to track events that were scheduled as recurring events resulting in having a lot of events missing from the dashboard with "tommorow's" events showing up and "today's" events missing

same thing happens in other types of installations, snap, manual etc, so I don't think it's OS dependent

[kubuntu-newbie]

this issue doesn't appear in snap installation of Nextcloud Hub 6 (27.1.8) that has calendar app version 4.7.1 installed

Thanks for your bug report :+1:

I've worked on two patches, which are also scheduled for the upcoming releases of Nextcloud 28 (2024-05-23) and Nextcloud 29 (2024-05-23), to address some issues regarding the upcoming events widget.

1. Bring back events from subscribed calendars: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/44752

2. Fix an issue with reoccurrence: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/45222

I've added a link to the second issue to close this bug report when the patch is merged.

I could reproduce your problem, and it's also seems fixed by the second patch. Please log a fresh issue if your issue is still there with Nextcloud 28.0.6 or Nextcloud 29.0.0.1.

Thank you and stay tuned!

Please log a fresh issue if your issue is still there with Nextcloud 28.0.6 or Nextcloud 29.0.0.1.

I missed the merge window for 28.0.6 and 29.0.1. They are scheduled now for 28.0.7 and ~29.0.2~ 29.0.3.
