Hello,

I’m trying to list event dates sorted by date asc and grouped by custom taxonomy.
The result should be something like:

TAXONOMY_1_NAME / TAXONOMY_1_DESC
06.02.2016 ….
20.02.2016 …

TAXONOMY_2_NAME / TAXONOMY_2_DESC
13.02.2016 ….
24.02.2016 …

My code is:

	<ul id="events">

<?php 

 $args = array( 'post_type'         =>  'termine',
                                'posts_per_page'    =>  100,
                                'orderby'           =>  'meta_value', 
                                'order'             =>  'ASC',
                                'meta_key'          =>  'event_date' ); 
 $query = new WP_Query( $args );

                          if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
                                    while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
                                        $query->the_post();
                                    
                                  $meta_date = get_field('event_date');
                                  $date = date("d.m.Y", strtotime($meta_date));
                                  $city = get_field('event_city');  
                                  $location  = get_field('event-location');     
                                  $title  = get_field('event_title');  
                                  $month  = date("n", strtotime($meta_date));
                                  $this_month = $monate[$month];
                                  $description = get_field('event_dec');
                                  $link_url = get_field('event_link_url');
                                  $link_text =  get_field('event_link_text');

                                  if (empty($link_text)) {
                                    $link_text = 'Link';
                                  }
                                echo '<li>';
                                echo '<h3>'.$meta_date.' '.$city.', '.$title.'</h3>';
                                echo $description;
                                if (!empty($link_url)) {
                                  echo '<a href="'.$link_url.'">'.$link_text.'</a>';
                                }
                                echo '</li>';
                               
                                    }

                                } else {
                                    echo 'Keine Termine vorhanden.';
                                }

                                // Restore original Post Data
                                wp_reset_postdata();
                                
                                 ?>

</ul>

How can I modify this query to get the event dates as described above?

Best.

So if I understand correctly you want to order the posts by terms and then by date. There isn’t a way to order posts by term, you can read about this here and in the other urls that this links to. http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/87639/wp-query-orderby-taxonomy-term-value-numeric

The easiest way to accomplish the is to get the terms and then do a new query based with that includes a tax_query for each term.
