Is it possible, to order by field order?
In the admin I can order the fields, but I have no idea how could I display the data in the same order.
$args = array('post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC');
$the_query = new WP_Query ($args);
Hi @vakondweb
Yes, you are on the right track.
Your args are missing the meta_key for the order param to work correctly.
Perhaps you just need to have another look at the docs:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/orde-posts-by-custom-fields/
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
Thanks but I have no idea what to put to the meta key.
I cant find any reference regarding it. 🙁
$args = array(‘post_type’ => ‘product’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 1,
‘meta_key’ = ‘?????’
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’);
$the_query = new WP_Query ($args);
Hi @vakondweb
the meta_key will be the name of the field you want to order by.
How else would PW know what custom field value to use as the ordering?
But I want to use the order info from the admin.
I would like display in the same order as I ordering the custom fields in admin area. I cant find meta key for doing this…
Hi @vakondweb
Sorry, I dont understand what you are saying.
Perhaps you should return to the original question and ask how to achieve the output you desire instead of asking about the meta_order argument.
The WP_Query object is for querying posts in WordPress, this is different to loading ACF values. Does this help? Perhaps you are a bit confused and did not mean to use the WP_Query?
Could this be correct?
