The result is already order by id what is incremented automatically, you don’t have anything to bother about there. Also please note, … Read more
Look at your conditions: WHERE ( ( (meta_key=’user_school_subjects’ AND meta_value LIKE ‘%history%’) OR (meta_key=’user_professional_courses’ AND meta_value LIKE ‘%history%’) OR (meta_key=’user_language_tutoring’ AND meta_value LIKE ‘%history%’) OR (meta_key=’user_music_tutoring’ AND meta_value LIKE ‘%history%’) ) AND (meta_key=’user_gender’ AND meta_value=”male”)) There is no way that you can have a meta key matching one of these– user_school_subjects, user_professional_courses, user_language_tutoring, user_music_tutoring … … Read more
