    Hi I need to sort custom posts by meta value but I need this value to be sorted alphabetically. Meta value that I want it to be sorted is Speakers. This is the snippet that works fine. I need this key value sorted alphabetically

    <?php
     $args = array(
    'post_type'  => 'talk',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'meta_key' => '_my_meta_value_key',
    'orderby' => 'title meta_value',
    'order' => 'ASC'
 );
  query_posts( $args );

 while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>  

 <?php $custom_fields = get_post_custom(); 

  $meta_speaker = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_my_meta_value_key', false);
   ksort($meta_speaker);
foreach($meta_speaker as $meta) {
        $speaker = get_the_title($meta);
       echo '<td>'.$speaker.'</td>';
        }  ?>

    The actual url is thenines.tv/test-2 . The column called Speaker Name is where I need this to be sorted alphabetically.

    Thanks in advance.

    The link to your page appears broken.

    If you want all speakers sorted instead of just sorting per post, try this:

    $all_speakers = array();
   while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>  

      <?php $custom_fields = get_post_custom(); 

      $meta_speaker = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_my_meta_value_key', false);
      foreach( $meta_speaker as $meta ) {
         $speaker = get_the_title( $meta );
         $all_speakers[] = '<td>'.$speaker.'</td>';
      }  

   endwhile;
   sort( $all_speakers );
   echo $all_speakers;
