Looper Custom Post Type Sort by Custom Field

[michigancreative]

Hey All,

I have a custom post type (therapists) that I would like to be displayed in alphabetical order based on their last name. I have their first name and last name as separate custom fields within this post type and I would like to know how/if it would be possible for me to sort this post type by last, first order without doing something like changing the title of the post (which I would like to keep as First Last for SEO reasons).

Thanks!

Hey All,

I was able to get it to sort by my custom field, I just have one other question regarding how I can exclude a single post from this based on post id. This is my currently looper provider wp query:

post_type=therapists&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=last_name&order=asc&posts_per_page=0

Thanks!

Hey All,

Sorry again, I figured out the solution to my problem. In order to adjust the query to exlude you need to add:

&post__not_in[]=*id of post*

If you need to exclude several posts I found you can just copy this and add a new id and it will work.

thanks!
