Hi Nicole,
Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, this is the way that the calendar view functions. Changing that behavior would require customization that’s a bit out of scope of what we’re able to provide here on the support forums. As an alternative, you could set your default view as List which will display your events in the behavior that you’re after (Events > Settings > Display > Default View).
I also want to suggest adding this as a future option to our User Voice page. This is where we’re prioritizing feature requests and getting them added to future releases if possible.
I’m sorry I couldn’t help further with that but let me know if there’s anything else I might be able to give a hand with.
Kind Regards,
Jami
