Subject: English ~ Temporally or Temporarily?

I always have a problem with these 2 words, Temporally or Temporarily.

Sentence 1 → I have 2 appointments; they were arranged temporally.
Sentence 2 → I have 2 appointments; they were arranged temporarily.

Both are correct, but they have different meanings.

Sentence 1
→ 'temporally' means 'not-simultaneous
→ or 'at different times'... 
→ or the 2 appointments are 'temporal'.

Sentence 2
→ 'temporarily' means 'not-permanent
→ or 'subjected to changes'... 
→ or the 2 appointments are 'temporary'.
