Hi,

So i have a repeater inside post-type ‘properties’ that stores Lot No and Auction Date for all the Auctions a property is in.

When going into an event page, say for 12th August it needs to list all of the properties in this auction in Lot No order.

When i use WP Query i’m doing it as so:

        function my_posts_where( $where ) {

        	$where = str_replace("meta_key = 'auctions_$", "meta_key LIKE 'auctions_%", $where);

        	return $where;
        }

        add_filter('posts_where', 'my_posts_where');

        $args = array (
            'post_type'=>'properties',
            'post_status'=>'publish',
            'posts_per_page'=> 40,
            'paged'=> $paged,
            'suppress_filters' => false,
            'meta_query' => array(
             'proparray' => array(
               'key' => 'auctions_$_auction_date',
               'value' => $today2,
               'compare' => 'LIKE',
             ),
             'lot-nos' => array(
               'key' => 'auctions_$_lot_no',
               'type' => 'NUMERIC',

            ),
        ),
       'orderby' => array(
          //  'auction-dates' => 'ASC',
            'lot-nos' => 'ASC',
        ),
          );
        $wpb_all_query = new WP_Query($args);

My problem is that it’s picking up Lot Nos from other rows. So if a property has the following date:

Auction Date : 7th June 2020
Lot No: 2
Auction Date: 12th August 2020
Lot No: 14

It is picking up the auction date 12th August 2020, but ordering it as Lot No 2, NOT 14. I need it to match to the specific row of the date in question, then get the Lot No from that row. is this possible?
