Tell us what you are trying to do? I have an intermediary post type between Homeowners and Properties that has a field called Status, with values of Current Homeowner, Previous Homeowner and Unoccupied. I would like to be able to sort Homeowners returned in a View by the Intermediary post type field of Status so that Current Homeowners come first, followed by Previous Homeowners, filled by Unoccupied (since these are in alphabetically order).
When setting of the Sort By as shown in the attached screen shot, no results are returned. If I change back to Title or some other Order By choice, my results return. Is this bug or am I doing something wrong?
