Filtering Upcoming Events

I’m having some trouble creating a search filter. I would like to have radio buttons for UPCOMING and PAST event, defaulting to UPCOMING.

If UPCOMING is selected, I need to show only where an ACF date field is >= today. Sorted by that date ASC.

If PAST is selected, I need to show only where an ACF date field is < today. Sorted by that date DESC.

I’m using Beaver Builder, and I’d already created this function that filters the post list by those parameters, using an ID for the module:

But I don’t think that will work with S&F, because the content source for the module needs to be Search and Filter, rather than Custom Query.

So in S&F, I’ve set the default order to a Meta Value of event_start_date ASC, which does the same thing, but of course, includes all events.

Is there a way to set a radio filter to default to event_date_date ASC (only show where that date field is >= today?

Then if that filter is switched to PAST, reverse that filter and show past events DESC?

With the current version of the plugin, that is not possible, sorry. It may become possible in V3, due in a few months.

Is there a public roadmap for V3? “May be possible” and “a few months” are a little unspecific for me to manage clients’ expectations.

Thanks
