I'm currently encountering the following issues with Events posted to my "secret" Facebook group:
- Todays & Tomorrows events display on the event list twice.
- Other events can show duplicated to the previous day (both go to the correct Event page).
- Some events don't show in the group Events list and can only be found by trawling through the timeline.
- Events list on Android Facebook App shows the wrong day of the week (Sat instead of Sun) for events but correct date.
- Events list on Android Facebook App sort by farthermost to soonest (DESC as opposed to ASC) so you have to keep scrolling and hitting "load more" to find today's event.

Seems to happen whether Admin or non-admin posts the Event, whether there's one or most hosts and whether event has an end time or not.

- Have checked Facebook locale settings (tried English UK & English US)
- Have check host OS timezone settings.
- Have tried IE & Chrome on Windows 8, and Chrome on Mac OS.
- Have reported bugs to Facebook through app and online forms over a week ago.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues and/or managed to resolve it client-side?

I doubt there's much you can do unless Facebook fix it from their end, and that's a big "if".

I haven't experienced this particular problem but Facebook in general is riddled with bugs. Just in the last week they've released an app update which causes the tools at the top to disappear at random times, requiring a restart of the app. This defect would have been obvious if they had bothered to do even five minutes of basic testing.
