Alphabetical order... yikes!

I just noticed that all-day or untimed events in multiple calendars
appear in alphabetical order on the individual tabs (Day, Week, Month,
etc). It's a big problem for the type of calendar I'm creating. It's
like this...
This calendar is for a chain of restaurants and each location's
respective entertainment schedule. On the left column (where the
calendar names are), the list is in alphabetical order, which is fine
by me -- although there have been requests on this forum for those to
be in a user-defined order as well.
In my case, it would really help to have the events on the calendar be
in the same order as the calendar list on the left. Take today and
tomorrow for example:
Blaine: Mark Stary, Tom Hunter
Eagan: Trick, Mick Sterling
Plymouth: Marshall & Mark, Dan & Charlie C
Saint Paul: Dan & Chris, Marshall & Chris
Savage: Pasty Playas, Trick
Woodbury: Robi Messerich, Dave Hudson
Even though the calendars are color coded, this is what I get:
Friday:
Dan & Chris
Mark Stary
Marshall & Mark
Pasty Playas
Robi Messerich
Trick
Saturday:
Dan & Charlie C
Dave Hudson
Marshall & Chris
Mick Sterling
Tom Hunter
Trick
And if I post ALL the dates on all the calendars, the page is an
explosion of colors and making sense of all the calendars is
impossible.
Also, I don't like the "+x more" link on the month page, but I
understand why it's there -- so all the days of the month fit in one
page. However, I'd much rather scroll down to see the remaining days
and have all the events right there on one page.
In summary, this is what I'm requesting, in order of importance:
- sorting options for events on the calendar page (like calendar list,
alphabetical, etc)
- sorting options for the calendar list (user-defined, alphabetical,
by color, etc)
- option to remove the "+x more" on the month page. In other words,
"Scrollable page? Yes/No"
Thank you and keep me posted!

Well, why don't you put a prefix for the event on each restaurant?
Start everything in the Blaine calendar with "Blain:" or "B:".
