Ordering of Results

    Hello,

    I would like to order the filter results by a custom field. Please could you let me know if I could do that like this:

    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'sort_rentals' );
function sort_rentals( $query )
{
   if if(!is_admin() && is_post_type_archive('rental')) {
            $query->set('meta_key', 'ranking' );
            $query->set('orderby', ''meta_value_num');
        }
    return $query;
}

    If so, would I need to specify an archive type for each taxonomy?

    Thank you for your help ??

  • There’s a doubled “if”, but otherwise this should work.

    You can use “is_archive()” to sort the posts for any archive and not just for the “rental” post type archive.
    In fact, you can use any of the conditional tags.

    Like so:

    
// Changing the order of the main query
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'sort_by_meta_value' );

function sort_by_meta_value( $query )
{
    if (is_admin()){
        return;
    }

   if ( is_archive() ){
		$query->set('meta_key', 'ranking' );
		$query->set('orderby', ''meta_value_num');
        }
    return $query;
}
