Hello John
Many thanks for the advice. I have corrected the spelling mistake in is_search.
The explanation regarding the sorting explains exactly what I see in the output of the search results after sorting by date.
What I still don’t understand is that the sorting works when querying the two cpts on an overview page (first code section) but not in the search.
Can I rewrite the search query so that sorting by date works or would ACF fields have to be named the same in order to enable sorting with $query->set('orderby', 'meta_value'); $query->set('meta_key', 'date_field_name');?
