Hello I’ve a custom post type “events” with the custom fields “artists” and “date” .
I want to get a ordered list of artists (by menu id) and below each artist an ordered list of his dates (DESC). Could anybody give me a hint?

Ive manged to do it like this:
<?php // WP_Query arguments
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'artists' ),
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
);
// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
$id = get_the_id();
$title = get_the_title();
$args_inner = array(
'post_type' => array( 'events' ),
'meta_key' => 'event_artist',
'meta_value' => $id,
'orderby' => 'event_date',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
// The Query
$query_inner = new WP_Query( $args_inner );
// The Loop
if ( $query_inner->have_posts() ) {
echo '<h2>'.$title.'</h2>';
while ( $query_inner->have_posts() ) {
$query_inner->the_post();
$date = get_field('event_date');
$artist_obj = get_field('event_artist');
$event_title = get_the_title();
echo '<li>';
echo $date;
echo $artist_obj -> post_title;
echo $event_title;
echo '</li>';
}
} else {
// no posts found
}
// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
}
} else {
// no posts found
}
// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
Is ther a possiblity to add a parameter to show only future events from today onwards?
Unfortunately the sorting doesn’t work as expected – seems that the “orderby” in the second query is ignored….
Could someone tell me what I’m doing wrong, please…
