Ordering by Meta Query | Code Samples | Docs

Ajax Load More supports a single orderby parameter, however, the WP_Query class allows for extending this by ordering by a specific Meta Query.

The code below uses the alm_query_args filter to append an ever-present Meta Query to the query arguments and then order the results by the clause.

<?php

function my_movie_listing( $args, $id ){

// [ajax_load_more id="movie_listing"]

// Custom meta query clause.

$meta_date_args = [

'key' => 'my_date_field',

'value' => date( "Ymd" ),

'compare' => '>=' ,

'type' => 'DATETIME'

];

// Add to meta_query.

$args['meta_query']['date_clause'] = $meta_date_args;

// Add custom ordering.

$args['orderby'] = [

'date_clause' => 'ASC',

];

return $args;

}

add_filter( 'alm_query_args_movie_listing', 'my_movie_listing', 10, 2 );
