Wordpress orderby function

by Woolwich Posted: 12 years ago 1 replies

Hi,

I'm using Post Ratings on one of my Wordpress sites and I want to give my visitors the possibility to sort the posts by rating. For that I'm using a $_GET function and this code:

PHP Code:

  case 'rated' :    $orderby = '&meta_key=rating&orderby=meta_value';

("rating" is a custom field)

The code works fine but I also want to sort the posts by number of votes so that a post that has a rating of 5 and 3 votes should be placed before a post that has a rating of 5 but only 1 vote. How can I do that?

You'll have to add the key and value for votes, then structure your query modification as an array.

See this page: Class Reference/WP Query « WordPress Codex for details. Look for the "Multiple 'orderby' values" section.
