 * Hi, I’m pretty new to wordpress and I’m still trying to figure out codes. If 
   there’s someone out there that can help, I really appreciate it.
 * I downloaded this plug-in and it seems to be exactly what I am looking for. I
   have two questions:
 * 1. How can I make the custom fields show up on my post. The fields are there 
   in the dashboard, but not on the post itself when viewed.
 * 2. My custom field is “Date”. Is there a way that I can sort my post by this 
   field. I would like the oldest dates to show up first when my page is viewed.
 * Thank you very much for reading this and a possible solution.

 * For what I was trying to do, I found this solution. I’m sure that it is not the
   best way, but it is what I came up with. I fixed a required custom field called“
   edate” and then I sorted the dates ascending. If someone has a better solution.
   I would gladly look and learn from it.

   > orderby=meta_value&order=asc’);
