Order posts by Date Picker with custom format + pre_get_post

  • Not sure if this is the right place for this.
    I have a custom post type “books” that I want to order by a custom date picker field “published”. I’ve set it up via pre_get_posts – but I have a custom date format – I only want to show month and year. Is this possible, or do I have to use the YYYYDDMM format? This code isn’t working (but I couldn’t get the YYYYDDMM to work either. Any help is appreciated!

    function books_posts($query)
    {
    if( is_admin() ) {

    return $query;

    }

    // only modify queries for ‘book’ post type
    if( isset($query->query_vars[‘post_type’]) && $query->query_vars[‘post_type’] == ‘book’ ) {

    $query->set(‘meta_key’, ‘published’);
    $query->set(‘orderby’, ‘meta_value_num’);
    $query->set(‘order’, ‘ASC’);
    }
    }
    add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘books_posts’);
