    Hello,

    This plugin is great. Thank you for your great work!

    I have added an option with an Advanced Custom Field to the $orderby array and it seems to work perfectly:

    $orderby = strtolower( (string) $orderby );
	if ( !in_array( $orderby, array( 'post_date', 'post_modified', get_field('show_event_start_date') ) ) ) {
		$orderby = 'post_date';
	}

    I feel silly that I can’t figure this out, but how would I implement this through my child theme functions instead of editing the plugin functions?

    Thank you in advance for the help.

    At this moment this is not possible, but I’m working on an update where you can filter the query like the posts_* filters in WP_Query.

    For orderby this would be similar to the posts_orderby filter

    This update is a few weeks away.

    Hi @garytamen

    It took a bit longer but I’ve added the filters in version 0.3.1

    Here is an Example on how you can use it to use the order by an Advanced Custom Field.

    add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_posts_orderby', 'related_posts_get_field_orderby', 10, 4 );

function related_posts_get_field_orderby( $order_by_sql, $post_id, $taxonomies, $args ) {
	global $wpdb;

	if ( !function_exists( 'get_field' ) ) {
		return $order_by_sql;
	}

	$orderby = get_field( 'show_event_start_date' );

	if ( !empty( $orderby ) ) {
		$order_by_sql = "$wpdb->posts.$orderby DESC";
	}

	return $order_by_sql;
}
