Multiple Orderby Not Working

    I’m trying to set up a shortcode that uses two sets of fields for the order – the reference guide says this is possible but it’s not working.

    Two fields we want to order by:

    1. Radio button with options 1, 2 and 3
    2. Date

    This is what I’m using but it’s not outputting any posts. If I remove the orderbey_2 it works fine:

    orderby=field key=positioning order=desc orderby_2=date order_2=desc

    Try to define key_2 and change orderby_2=date to orderby_2=field_num.

    May be you also need field_num for “positionering”?

    Thanks for the reply Peter.

    Still doesn’t seem to be working – this is what I’m currently using:

    [loop type=myposts orderby=field_num key=positioning order=desc orderby_2=field_num key_2=date order_2=desc]

    It works as expected without the second parameter and also fine when only using the date parameter. It’s just combining them that doesn’t seem to be working.

    Hi – did you ever get to the bottom of this problem?

    I am also having the same issue:

    [loop type=external_link taxonomy=page_location term={PAGE} orderby=sort_order orderby_2=title]

    Either sort_order or title works fine with the orderby but adding the orderby_2 stops it working.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks

    Unfortunately not. I ended up having to create the code for this shortcode in php.
