Description
Problem: The event filter in reports typically shows only the event titles, sorted by end_date. When an organization has many events, it can be hard to find the right event in the "event" filter in a report. This is especially problematic if many events have identical or similar names, so that they're distinguishable only by start date and/or event_id.
Proposed solution: Appended the start date and the ID to the filter option labels, and sorted them alphabetically by title.
Technical challenges: The "event" filter is defined on a per-report basis, and it even seems hard to grep the codebase to find them all. This fix will require finding them and fixing in each report class file.
