Reply To: Sort by Custom Field

@ Dedra

Here’s a new trick that can be done with Connections…

1. Edit your entries in the admin.
2. While on the edit page, scroll to the “Custom Fields” metabox.
3. Click the Enter New link in the Add New Custom Field: section.
4. Enter order for the Name and the order number in the Value field.
5. Click the Update button.
6. Do this for all entries. This is important because any entry not assigned an order will not show up in the results.
7. Edit the page where you inserted the [connections] shortcode.
8. Change the shortcode to: [connections order_by='meta_key:order|NUMERIC_ASC']

Now you entries should appear in the desired order.

Hope that helps!
