Hello
I encountered the problem of displaying custom records in pages by date. I have approximately 400 posts from 2017 to 2019. The date is in a custom field and I take it using the operation $year = date("Y", strtotime(get_field('letter_sent'))); . All posts are displayed on this request

$posts = get_posts(array(
    'post_type'			=> 'letters',
    'numberposts'	    => -1,
    'meta_key'          => 'letter_sent',
    'meta_type'         => 'NUMERIC',
    'orderby'           => 'meta_value',
));

.
It is necessary to create a page for 2019 and display entries in which are in the field 2019, for 2018 and so on. Tell me how to implement this since I can’t find a clear answer.
(sorry for google translate)

Hey,
I really didn’t get the question, but rather than filtering it in the query, you can use this.

$posts = get_posts(array(
    'post_type'			=> 'letters',
    'numberposts'	    => -1,
));
foreach($posts as $post)
{
if(get_field('letter_sent', $post->ID) == '2019')
{
//your code
}
}

Also the meta_key is not same when acf saves it. Try enabling the Custom fields option in the Screen options. You will get the idea how acf saves the custom fields.
