    Hi,

    I’d like to sort my posts by a custom field value.

    I have several ‘Posts’ and these all have a custom field called ‘orders’.

    I’d like to be able to arrange my Posts based on this integer value. Arrange in ascending order.

    Can anyone advise?
    $orders = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'orders', true);

    Currently I’m just using the standard:

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    Many thanks

    OK. Found it:

    <?php
query_posts($query_string . '&meta_key=orders&orderby=meta_value');
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
