If you can guarantee that the folder's children all have the 'text/xml' mimetype, you may be able to use Freemarker's "sort_by" built-in for sequences. In your FTL, where you have "<#list folder.children as document>", try:

<#list folder.children?sort_by['xmlNodeModel', 'upcoming_event', 'event_date'] as document>‍

Note that this assumes that the property "xmlNodeModel" exists on each child so as I said, if your child is not of type "text/xml" then this won't work.

Otherwise, I would just do the sorting in the JS and pass an already-sorted array to FreeMarker.
