You can do this by naming index of meta query, then passing array of these names in orderby parameter $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ’10’, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, ‘with_time’ => array( ‘key’ => ‘TIME_meta_key’, ‘compare’ => ‘EXISTS’ ), ‘without_time’ => array( ‘key’ => ‘TIME_meta_key’, ‘compare’ => … Read more
It is unlikely that you will achieve this as stated. WordPress has no concept of post subsets in a query, it only understands it as single set as results. If you don’t need pagination you could just retrieve the set unsorted and re–sort it with PHP code. If you do need the pagination this would … Read more
Instead of trying to do this through the orderby parameter, I went a different direction. Logically, the orderby parameter above only applies to the posts within each grouping, not the taxonomy term grouping itself so it won’t work for this. What I ended up doing was adding 01, 02, 03, etc. to the taxonomy term … Read more
You can order posts by meta value check out the codex https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

OK, I added distance as custom field to allow me order them using wp_query orderby method! function add_distance_as_customfield($posts){ $longDest = $_GET[‘lng’]; $latDest = $_GET[‘ltd’]; foreach ($posts as $post) { $placeLocation= get_field(‘location’,$post->ID); $longPlace =$placeLocation[‘lng’]; $latPlace = $placeLocation[‘lat’]; $distance=getDistance($latDest,$longDest,$latPlace,$longPlace); if ( ! add_post_meta($post->ID, “distance”, $distance,true ) ) { update_post_meta( $post->ID, “distance”, $distance ); } } }
It looks like you want to order by post__in: $samp = array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘product’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 12, ‘post__in’ => $init_ids_arr, ‘orderby’ => ‘post__in’, // <– Try this to fix the order ); We might also want to skip the sticky posts with: ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true, If we want to display all of the … Read more
I figured this out. It’s because my posts were added with a CSV import which created a ton of posts at once with the exact same timestamp. Changing the orderby to something besides ‘date’ will suffice for now and I will need to modify my CSV import to add minutes onto the timestamp.
