Ah!
Also, check that you don’t have any ‘pre_get_post’ filters that are modifying the args
That put me int he right direction. none of the other orderby arguments seem to work.
I changed up the query to:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'posts_per_page' => '-1',
'meta_key' => 'date_received',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
remove_all_filters('posts_orderby');
$query = new WP_query($args);
And that fixed it. If this was in the documentation, my apologies for not seeing it. Either way, I’m good to go and thank you for your help.
