Hi,

so what you want is get posts by state name and then when outputting them sort them by city.

maybe you could try that, instead of having 2

set up your $args like that:

$args = array(
         'numberposts' => -1,
	 'post_type' => 'OGs',
         'orderby'   => 'meta_value', 
         'order' => 'DESC',
	 'meta_key' => 'city',
);

this code above should return all the OGs posts ordered by city however the states part is missing i don’t know if you can add it as below.

$args = array(
         'numberposts' => -1,
	 'post_type' => 'OGs',
         'orderby'   => 'meta_value', 
         'order' => 'DESC',
	 'meta_key' => 'city',
         'meta_query' => array( 
                         array( 
                         'key' => 'state', 
                         'value' => 'Texas', 
                         ),
);

I diden’t test that but looks like the ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’ is a good start.

let me know how it goes
