    Yow,

    I am currently trying to display calendar entry posts in a sidebar, sorting by most recent date to least recent.. the code I am using (that I have somewhat inherited) is displayed below:-

    [code moderated – please use the pastebin for any code longer than 10 lines]

    for some reason this query seems to totally ignore any order or orderby commands i give and only displays the sidebar entries by date created, not date specified.

    if anyone could provide assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

    cheers.

    ‘meta_value’ – Note that a ‘meta_key=keyname’ must also be present in the query. Note also that the sorting will be alphabetical which is fine for strings (i.e. words), but can be unexpected for numbers (e.g. 1, 3, 34, 4, 56, 6, etc, rather than 1, 3, 4, 6, 34, 56 as you might naturally expect).
    ‘meta_value_num’ – Order by numeric meta value (available with Version 2.8). Also note that a ‘meta_key=keyname’ must also be present in the query. This value allows for numerical sorting as noted above in ‘meta_value’.
