Order by field, but another meta_key has been used

  • I want to order my list by a field value.
    But in query, I have use another meta key.`
    Here is the code:

    $args = array(
    	'post_type'     => 'schedule-public',
    	'meta_key'      => 'category_training',
    	'meta_value'    => 'ISO',
    	'meta_key'		=> 'start_date',
    	'orderby'		=> 'meta_value_num',
    	'order'			=> 'ASC'
    );
    
    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    
    if( $the_query->have_posts() ):
    	while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
    	.......;
    	endwhile;
    endif;

    The result, there’s no post displayed.
    What should I do?

  • Hi @fadhil_ks,

    Thanks for the post.

    In this use case, I would recommend you make use of a meta_query to filter the posts by the custom field value.

    This is explained in detail here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

    I hope this helps.
