Order taxonomy query results

Resolved

(@bloke)

I am tring to display posts with a custom taxonomy ad place them in order. Is there something I have incorrect in the query?

$args = array(
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'rep_locations',
'field'    => 'slug',
'operator' => 'EXISTS',
				 					
'orderby' => 'id', 
'order' => 'asc',
			
		)
	)
	 
  
  );

The tax_query array does not do anything with order and orderby.
See https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#taxonomy-parameters
And the orderby parameter does not have any option for using the taxonomy.
See https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters

You might be able to generate your own SQL to accomplish this, but it could be complex since the taxonomies are in three different tables and the posts are in another table.

Thanks. I was able to sort them by state in order by adding another meta value of ‘rep_state’.
```
$args = array(
  
    	'post_type' => 'representative',
        'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby'   => 'meta_value',
    	'meta_key'  => 'rep_state',   
        'order' => 'asc',
         'posts_per_page' => -1,
            'tax_query' => array(
                    array(
                        'taxonomy' => 'rep_locations',
                        'field' => 'slug',
			'operator' => 'EXISTS',
                    )
                    ) 
	 
  
  	);
```
