I have a custom post type with a date field, and a view that displays the posts. I need the view to sort the posts by date field.

I have the date field in the content-loop of my view

[types field='kalender' style='text' format='j.m'][/types]

and the same date field is selected in the sort order list of the view.

Unfortunately the posts are sorted only by post date, and not by date field. How can I accomplish the expected result?

Thanks and best.

Hi Alessandro

This should work, I just tested it myself.

I have a custom post type with a custom field "publication date". I created a View to display my custom post type, and in the Ordering section specified my custom field as the orderby option.

Can you show me a screenshot with your ordering options?
