I realise this is leaning towards a straight up WP question rather than an ACF question but my query uses two ACF and the query is sorted by both, and the issue is connected to one of them! Hopefully you can help 🙂
I have the following code which loops through Woocommerce products and orders them by two ACF – firstly by start date (which is a date picker field) and then secondly by duration (text input field). This works fine – except for tours that don’t have start dates assigned. These are output at the top of the list, and I’d like them to be at the bottom of the list of results, so that the user sees the items with start dates assigned first. Any ideas how to amend this query to achieve that?
$tours = new WP_Query(array(
‘post_type’ => ‘tour’,
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘meta_query’ => array(
‘relation’ => ‘AND’,
‘start_date’ => array(
‘key’ => ‘start_date’,
),
‘duration’ => array(
‘key’ => ‘duration’,
‘type’ => ‘NUMERIC’,
),
),
‘orderby’ => array(
‘start_date’ => ‘ASC’,
‘duration’ => ‘ASC’,
),
));
Just to recap – the output all the tours without a start date set at the top of the list of results, followed by all the tours with a start date (in the correct chronological order).
What I want is the chronological tours first, tours with blank start dates last.
