Custom post with ACF – order by ACF field

I have a custom post called Cars and each post has a ACF called Price.

Is it possible to order the post by the price so e.g. most expensive first, least expensive last?

This is what I have so far, but it’s just putting them in order of published.

$args = array( 
    'post_type' => 'cars', 
    'posts_per_page' => 999,
    'meta_key' => 'price',
    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    'order' => 'ASC'                        
);

I’ve googled it, but struggling to find anything useful (maybe I putting in wrong search terms…)

Try this and let me know what you get:

$args = array( 
    'post_type' => 'cars', 
    'posts_per_page' => 999,
    'meta_key' => 'price',
    'meta_type' => 'NUMERIC',
    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    'order' => 'ASC'                        
);

Hi @bosoxbill

Thanks for getting back to me, sadly it didn’t work. It put the car at £11,000 at the bottom with a £12,000 and £7,000 above it.

UPDATE

Went back and removed the £ sign from the fields and tested again, worked! Thanks! 🙂
