Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have created a view, which should show some post content and the number of likes and I am trying to sort the view by likes, unfortunately it does not work, as I have no clue how to name the like field. Do you have any idea how to find that out? I thought it would be "Like" as I can use this in the filter, but it dies not word.
I use the plugin likeBtn, but I can use whatever you suggest.
What is the link to your site?
versteckter Link
You should still have the login cress to the page - or is it safe to upload it here?
Regards and thanks
Hi there
According to the plugin documentation it seems that the number of likes are stored in a custom field with the key "Likes", see versteckter Link.
So you should be able to set your View to order by this custom field: see the screenshot.
Note, however, that because this isn't a Types custom field, the field will only be offered in the ordering dropdown if a scan of the fields of a sample post finds an entry for that field. (The sample post would be the first post the View would load based on the existing ordering.)
So you need to make sure that the posts being queried by the View actually have some data for Likes, then you will find you can order by that field in the View settings.
