Hi,

My Event Custom post type uses a repeater field containing Date and location.
I’d like to order my event list by the first date field in the repeater of each event but i don’t k now what tp put in ‘meta_key’ ???
Thanks a lot

My event
Date1 /location
Date2 /location
etc..

How to order by Date1 ?

$wp_query = new WP_Query(array(
					'post_type' => 'spectacle',
					'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
					'meta_key'	=> '????',
					'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
					'order' => $order,
					'paged' => $paged
				));

I precise that i used a simple custom field named “thedate” we would have ‘meta_key’ => ‘thedate’ but how can i do with repeater ?

Hi @Pipoulito

You will find the format which sub field’s are saved as in this article (scroll to bottom): http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/repeater/

So the meta_key should look like: parent_name_0_child_name

Cheers
