[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] 2 questions: orderby and p2pmeta

    How can you do an orderby using each_connected? I saw an example online that had something similar to:
    p2p_type(this_to_that')->each_connected( $query, array( 'orderby'=>'p2p_meta_price', 'order'=>'ASC' );

    My assumption is that that utilizes the p2pmeta table? Which brings me to my second question. While the plugin is working, my p2pmeta table is empty. It appears to be storing all of my data in the p2p table. Is this correct?

    My assumption is that the above query prepends p2p_ on the meta type and stores it in the p2pmeta table. I can’t get each_connected and orderby to work.

    thanks for your assistance,

    The wp_p2pmeta table is used for storing connection fields. The connections themselves are stored in the wp_p2p table.

    How can you do an orderby using each_connected?

    'orderby' => 'p2p_meta_price' will not work. Where did you see that?

    What might work would be:

    p2p_type(this_to_that')->each_connected( $query, array(
  'connected_orderby' => 'price',
  'connected_order' => 'ASC',
  'connected_order_num' => true
) );

    Thanks!
    connected_order_num' => true
    was the missing piece…

    thanks again!
