Hi @crushdg

If you review the ‘orderby’ documentation on:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

You will see that the ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’ param will then tell WP to order the posts by the field name in the param ‘ ‘meta_key’ => ‘application_type’

So your code above looks like it will order the posts by ‘application_type’ value.
I don’t understand what you mean by:
Currently the orderby ‘meta_value’ is an array

In the above code, orderby is not an array. It is a string with a value of ‘meta_value’

Thanks
