<?php if (is_category('26')) { $posts = query_posts($query_string. '&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=date&order=DESC' ); } ?>
Initial URL 

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
Put this before the loop in archive.php to have posts in the archive for category '26' sorted by custom field 'date'. 
Assign sortable values like '090501' or '2009-05-01' to those fields when editing posts and your Upcoming Events will be sorted by the future date at which they will take place.
