By default, they appear in reverse chronology, based on the post date stamp. However, I would like to be able to order the posts by the value of a custom field. I have had some success by modifying line 12 of loop-portfolio.php as follows:</p> <p><code>if(isset($avia_config['new_query'])) { query_posts($avia_config['new_query']); }<br /> </code></p> <p>changed to:</p> <p><code>if(isset($avia_config['new_query'])) { query_posts ( '&amp;post_type=portfolio&amp;meta_key=show_date&amp;orderby=meta_value&amp;order=ASC'); }<br /> </code></p> <p>However, by removing <code>$avia_config[&#39;new_query&#39;]</code>, I am no longer able to choose which categories are displayed; regardless of what I set in the template builder, posts from all categories are output. </p> <p>Can anyone offer a solution?</p> <p>Many thanks! </p>
