<?php $catPost = get_posts(array('category'=>get_cat_ID( '' ),'numberposts'=>12)); ?>
<?php foreach ($catPost as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php the_title (); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
who show me the last post added.
i want it to show me the post with the latest date in the date picker costum field.
there is a simple way to do that?
Hi @yortem
To order posts via a custom field value, please see:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/orde-posts-by-custom-fields/
Please make sure your date picker has a save format of ‘yymmdd’ or else the order will not work correctly.
Thanks

can you please give me example of the code if my field call “field_name”?
i have really low knowledge in php.
Hi @yortem
I have taken the following code straight from the docs above and changed to the field name required:
<?php
// get posts
$posts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'event',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => 'field_name',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC'
));
if( $posts )
{
foreach( $posts as $post )
{
// ...
}
}
?>
Hope that helps.
Thanks

thanks. it gave me the the posts by the right field. but the result wasnt what i looked for.
it gave me:
30/12/12
29/11/10
28/04/13
27/02/02
26/11/06
see? by the numbers of the day in the month only not by the real date.
i need something like that:
28/04/13
30/12/12
29/11/10
26/11/06
27/02/02
by the real date.
(sry for my english)

i changed to yymmdd

my knowledge in php isnt so good, where i put the code that change the display date?
Hi @yortem
When looping through your post results, for each post, you can load the date value, and then format it using the code examples on this doc:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/
