trying to change the sort order of a news/events page we have working. If it's a news item (category) then we want sorted desc. If it's an event (category) we want sorted ascending. such as...(I am sure this code is wrong, just want to give you an idea)

if(cat==1){
<cms:pages
masterpage='news-events.php'
folder=k_folder_name
order='asc'
paginate='1'
limit='3'
show_future_entries = '1'
start_on=k_archive_date
stop_before=k_next_archive_date >
}
else {
<cms:pages
masterpage='news-events.php'
folder=k_folder_name
order='desc'
paginate='1'
limit='3'
show_future_entries = '1'
start_on=k_archive_date
stop_before=k_next_archive_date >
}
