Great! That works absolutely perfectly. I had to remove the (int) though, as there are some letters in the post titles too. But thanks so much for your help! really appreciate it.

Actually I figured it out. I just have to use WP’s date function date_i18n. So the custom field call looks like this:

<?php
$dato = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Dato', true);
$test = explode('-',$dato);
echo date_i18n('j. F Y', mktime(0,0,0,$test[1],$test[2],$test[0]));			unset($test);
?>

Then it displays the date in the right language. So problem solved!! Thanks for all your help t31os_!!!

Then as Esmi said, use the other date format, then re-arrange the data when you retrieve it.

Can you give me an excample on how to re-arrange the data when I retrieve it?

Thanks so much!

Just because the date has to be displayed using format A doesn’t mean it can’t be entered as a meta value using format B.

okay, thanks! but will the dates still be sorted with format A, even though format b is displayed.

Can you give me an example of how to do this?

thanks again!

Thanks, but that’s unfortunately not an option for me. The date has to be displayed this exact way.

I’ve tried many solutions, but they all turn out the same. I just need some kind of way of telling the loop that the custom field is a date in this format.
