Just updating here in case this can help anyone else with the same question/problem – there is indeed an older version of the plugin available:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/legacy-google-calendar-events/

And using this version I believe you could easily display events in reverse order using [order=desc] shortcode.

Personally I’ve been unable to get the older plugin to work properly (even after uninstalling and deleting the newer one)(tip: this is a CRITICAL step!). So I’m giving up for now before I break everything even more.

Again, if anyone has even the slightest theory of how to accomplish this in the plugin or theme php files I’d appreciate it.

Okay, thanks again and I promise this is my last addendum!

Is there another way to achieve this e.g. by editing a php file somewhere? (I am pretty ignorant of how this kind of thing would go down…) Otherwise… is there any way to use an older version of the plugin where this functionality was available??

Thanks so much for the great plugin and the speedy reply!

Where are you looking? It’s in Calendar Settings under Advanced. (The menu on the right lists events, appearance, google calendar and advanced. Click advanced.)

There are some screen shots here…

You can change the default under Calendar Settings > Advanced > Date and Time > Week Starts On. Choose “custom” from the drop-down menu and choose Sunday.

Hope this helps!
