Thanks for the response @elliot.
My apologies for not clearing this up sooner. My query displays the posts. They’re just not ordered by the meta_key defined in the query. The meta_key is a datepicker from ACF.
Here’s how the query looks on the front end: http://imgur.com/ANmN8ft
Notice how the dates are not in order? The posts are in order by the post date, not the date set forth by the advanced custom field.
I hope that helps to clear up any confusion.
