 * Hello. I have a query:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $args = array( 'cache_results' => false,
   
       'update_post_meta_cache' => false,
   
       'update_post_term_cache' => false,
   
       'post_type' => 'estate_property',
   
       'post_status' => 'publish',
   
       'paged' => $paged, //1
   
       'posts_per_page' => $prop_no, // 10
   
       'meta_key' => $meta_order, // 'empty'
   
       'tax_query' => $tax_array, array[filled array]
   
       'meta_query' => $meta_array, );
       ```
   
 * how can i sort by post_title ? Or by creation date? or by price? (meta property_price)
 * when added to `array ('meta_key' => $meta_order, // 'prop_featured' [orderby]
   => meta_value_num [order] => DESC or ASC)` nothing changes. what to do?

 * “orderby” belongs as a key in the main $args array. Do not nest it into any sub-
   array.
    `'orderby'=> 'title',` or `'orderby'=> 'date',` or
 *     ```
       'meta_key' => 'property_price',
       // Do not include a 'meta_value_num' arg key/value pair.
       'orderby'=> 'meta_value_num',
       ```
