Query to include events in home page order of event start date, not by post date

Hello- I have scoured the support forums and internet for the solution to this, but I’m only finding variations…

I am showing six events on my home page, but they’re in order of post date, not start date. Can someone please assist/direct me to a solution? I need this working before I can upgrade to pro :/

Using:

<?php $posts = get_posts('post_type=tribe_events&numberposts=6'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
