Aa you know, as of WP3.0 there are options for custom advanced queries, which is great.
As of this, some query parameters of custom fields like meta_key, meta_value were deprecated for the new meta_query parameter (see here)
I try to have a pretty simple query with the new syntax, query posts by a certain post_type (services) that contains a specified meta_key (order_in_archive)- this is going well as expected.
But – I want to orderby the query by the meta_value, and with no success.
This is my query –
query_posts(
array( 'post_type' => 'services',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'meta_query' => array(
array('key' => 'order_in_archive'))
)
);
I tried orderby also by meta_value_numeric and meta_value, but in any case the results are being ordered by the publication date (as regular posts do).
Anyone know how can this be done?
Thanks
