1) use posts_per_page to set number of posts 2) your add_action and its associated function needs to be in your theme’s functions.php file, not the template. the pre_get_posts action is the preferred method between the two, use that one.
there is no third parameter for get_field, may be causing your error. EDIT- In your current code, if the 10 most recent posts don’t contain a post with your meta key, you’ll see nothing since you’re only getting 10 posts and then filtering them. Any query that doesn’t specify number of posts defaults to your … Read more
query_posts should only be used for the main loop. Instead, use a new instance of the WP_Query class: $my_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 10, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘paged’=> $paged ) ); echo ‘<ul>’; while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); if ( $my_query->current_post > 0 && ( $my_query->current_post + 1 ) … Read more

You should not use query_post when you can use the mutch faster query WP_Query. You can count the post with the property post_count. Here is a snippet that counts your post in the loop: <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘cat’ => ’20’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ ); // The Query $the_query … Read more

To sort your posts by a numeric value in a custom field your query would look like this: query_posts(‘cat=2684&meta_key=yourCFkey&orderby=meta_value_num’);
