Thanks - I suppose it should be possible then on the front end to detect if a user is logged in then display an edit option beside the entry?

I have created a Calendar channel in the Control Panel.
I have added a field Calendar Date.

Is it possible to add that field to the Entries list and sort by it?

If I use the post date as the calendar date it will not display if it is in the future?
