Hi community,

I’m somewhat unsure how to achieve this, I made a two pages sections with events, every event has a date field. This is what blueprint looks like:

```auto
    sections:
      future-events:
        label: Aktuelle Veranstaltungen
        type: pages
        layout: table
        sortBy: date desc
        columns:
          date:
            label: Datum
            value: "{{ page.date.toDate('Y.m.d') }}"
        template:
          - event_single

      past-events:
        label: Vergangene Veranstaltungen
        type: pages
        layout: table
        sortBy: date desc
        columns:
          date:
            label: Datum
            value: "{{ page.date.toDate('Y.m.d') }}"
        template:
          - event_single

```

Now what I want to achieve, i want first section to show all events which are in future (or today) which the past-events should display events older than today. It should compare date field of event.

Probably it can be filtered though query, but how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

you can use the query option.

```auto
query: page.children.filterBy('date', 'date >', 'today')

```
