For alphabetical custom fields, use [display_posts meta_key=”customfieldname” orderby=”meta_value”]
For numerical custom fields, use [display_posts meta_key=”customfieldname” orderby=”meta_value_num”]
Hi, I was looking for this solution.
I have to order by a custom date field… I have tried both solutions.
The first with meta_value = no output.
The second doesnt´t work either. I have only three posts though the limit is 4 and one post is shown twice.
any idea?
Thanks.
Here is an example of how I used it and it works fine. in my case I am using a custom post type. Make sure you have the correct name for the custom field.
[display-posts include_excerpt=”true” tag=”tatag” image_size=”tour-guide” post_type=”profile” order=”ASC” meta_key=”wpcf-last_name” orderby=”meta_value” posts_per_page=”-1″]
