Hi @jeathree
There are two methods that I can think for your case.
First, you can loop trough the available categories and query the posts based on it like this:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'nldf',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'meta_key' => 'nldf_category_type',
'meta_value' => $the_category,
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'menu_order'
);
Where $the_category is the category in the loop.
The second method, you can get the posts by using the get_posts() function instead of the WP_Query class and then loop trough the posts and group it accordingly in an array. Maybe something like this (I assume that ‘nldf_category_type’ is a taxonomy field):
// Get all of the posts
$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
// Create a new array
$grouped_posts = array();
// Group it in a new array
foreach( $posts_array as $the_post ) {
$category = get_field('nldf_category_type', $the_post->ID);
// If the category group is not created yet, create it!
if( !isset($grouped_posts[$category->name]) ){
$grouped_posts[$category->name] = array();
}
// Put the post in the group
$grouped_posts[$category->name][] = $the_post;
}
// Loop it!
foreach( $grouped_posts as $cat_name => $the_posts ) {
echo $cat_name;
foreach( $the_posts as $the_post ){
echo $the_post->title;
}
}
I hope this helps 🙂
