Sort by Meta Value?
-
Hi – looking at ways to display posts from one site to another on a multisite. But, these posts need to be sorted alpha by a meta value – not seeing that option in your plugin? Is that true, or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance – otherwise, your plugin would be perfect for what I need!

Hi @swcomm ;
Are you talking about a numerical meta value like one placed in a custom field?
If so I don’t have anything like that directly but you could use acf to create a custom field called date and use that as your meta value. So each post can be given a later date so it will order by that.
So you would create a custom field called date picker and for each post choose a date and it will list by that order in ascending or descending fashion.
Here would be the shortcode attribute:
order_post_by_acf_date='acf_field_name asc'or
order_post_by_acf_date='acf_field_name desc'.If these don’t work let me know and I’ll see if I could implement an attribute as such.
order_post_by_custom_field='name_of_custom_field'.I’m assuming these custom numerical values are being dynamically created.
Are these meta values going to be a number? If so it can only be possible if it’s simple text (numeric or alphabetic) and not a complex string.
An example of what kind of meta value would be helpful.
We have order by title with the following argument:
order_post_by='date_order', order_post_by='alphabetical_order', order_post_by='page_order'.Other than that if I understood you correctly did you want to order meta value alphabetically or numerically?
Please let me know. Thank You.
