I am trying to: Order my view results by a custom field (select), is set as "order by (field - select), Ascending, As a Number"

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: the page is hidden link ** but its protected, require a password to go view.

I expected to see: I have a custom field for Days of the week, for a CPT of "Classes" available. Starting with Sunday, starting with a content type of "1". So when I set a view to order the results in the loop by that field, I expected it to start with Sunday.

Instead, I got: It never begins with Sunday. I get different orders.

I don't understand why this is. If I change the method from Ascending to Descending, I get the exact same result.

** i can provide wordpress admin access but not FTP access right now. please advise on how to do this.

thank you.

Hello,

The problem you mentioned above is abnormal, in case it is a compatibility problem, please check this:

1) deactivate other plugins and switch to wordpress default theme, and test again

2) If the problem still persists, please provide a database dump file (ZIP file) of your website in below private detail box, also point out the problem page URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks
