I know there’s loads of posts on this but nothing I I’ve tried from the suggestions will affect the ordering of posts in this query. I need to order by the custom field exhibition_item_end_date Can anyone spot something that might be wrong? Thanks

 $today = date('Ymd');
  $args = array(
    'post_type' => array( 'exhibitions' ),
    'posts_per_page' => '-1',
    'orderby'	     => 'meta_value',
    'order'	     => 'DESC',
    'meta_query' => array(
      array(
        'key'		=> 'exhibition_item_end_date',
        'compare'	=> '<',
        'value'		=> $today,
        )
      ),    
  );

OK so this was actually due to a conflict with the Posts Types Order plugin, the query works as expected.
