 * How to add meta values in wordpress pages for sorting. As per FAQ we have seen
   that by using below short code we can use sorting.
 * [wcp-carousel id=”1609″ order=”DESC” orderby=”meta_value” meta_key=”purchased_date”]
 * But we are trying to do the below.
 * -> Post type is pages
    -> Added few pages in select posts
 * Now we want to know what is a meta_key. Where exactly is the purchased_date ?
   Since we have added post_type as pages. Where do we need to add this purchased_date?
   what does the meta_key refer to in pages ?

 * Hi, Sorry I didn’t understand what you’re trying to do here. Can you please explain
   a little further? Do you want to sort the slides by some custom meta available
   in your posts?
 * Regards
