Fields and sorting

    Hello:

    I need the ability to add fields to posts within a category on my site. The category’s content theme is Events. So adding posts assigned to this category generates a list of Upcoming Events.

    Now, I want such posts to have a Field where I can type in the date of the event.

    Then I want to the posts assigned to that category to be sorted by the date in that Field, eg, the soonest date stuff first.

    Any suggestions?

    You can add a Custom Field to each post with the date. Just be sure the date is in the format ‘yyyy-mm-dd’. Then you can sort on the date by using a query something like this:

    query_posts('cat=22&meta_key=Date&orderby=meta_value&order=DESC');
