I am trying to to sort multiple views output by a numeric custom field.
The numeric field was created by ACF and contains numbers from 0 to 999.

I've read in another post that there is a feature planned for setting a custom field to numeric in the "order by" dialog. But that feature is not ready yet.

How can I sort these views?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To filter your custom field in numeric format. Could you please try to add following code to your current theme's function.php file:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'hook_search_custom_fields', 10, 2 );
function hook_search_custom_fields( $query_args, $view_settings ) {
      
    $query_args['orderby'] = array( 'meta_value_num');
    $query_args['meta_key'] = 'cf-job-growth-pct'; 
    $query_args['meta_type'] = 'numeric'; //
     
     
return $query_args;
}

Where:
change "cf-job-growth-pct" with your orginal field slug.

I hope this solution with help you to resolve your issue. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you need further assistance.
