 Events in the widget are normally sorted chronologically, but we also pin
 special events like regional WordCamps -- Asia, Europe, US -- and WP15.
 We're also [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/04/02/showing-online-
 wordcamps-in-the-events-widget/ currently pinning the next online
 WordCamp]. Those pinned events aren't sorted chronologically, instead they
 appear at the top of the list, even if there are local events that happen
 sooner.

 The sorting order isn't obvious to the user, and I think most people will
 assume that it's sorted chronologically, since that's what normally
 happens. That can lead to people assuming that their local events happen
 ''after'' the pinned events (which may be several months away).
