I've created a category "Expire Soon" and i want to insert and sort the posts by custom field "expiration_date".
I use this code but the posts are sorted by custom field "expiration_date" but not by the date. The posts are sorted by the numbers in the date. Such as:
31/12/2012
28/01/2013
15/01/2013
04/12/2012
and i want to be like:
04/12/2012
31/12/2012
15/01/2013
28/01/2013
The code i use to insert the custom fields (creating them with Advanced Custom Fields) is:
<?php
if( get_field( "dwra_diagwnismou" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Δώρα διαγωνισμού:</b> <?php the_field( "dwra_diagwnismou" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "kathgoria-diagwnismou" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Κατηγορία διαγωνισμού:</b> <?php the_field( "kathgoria-diagwnismou" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "diorganwths_diagwnismou" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Διοργανωτής διαγωνισμού:</b> <?php the_field( "diorganwths_diagwnismou" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "hmeromhnia_lhkshs" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Ημερομηνία λήξης:</b> <?php the_field( "hmeromhnia_lhkshs" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "wra_lhkshs" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Ώρα λήξης:</b> <?php the_field( "wra_lhkshs" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "periorismos_perioxhs" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Περιορισμός περιοχής:</b> <?php the_field( "periorismos_perioxhs" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "apaitei_logariasmo_facebook" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Απαιτεί λογαριασμό Facebook:</b> <?php the_field( "apaitei_logariasmo_facebook" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "syxnothta_diagwnismou" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Συχνότητα διαγωνισμού:</b> <?php the_field( "syxnothta_diagwnismou" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "link_diagwnismou" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Link διαγωνισμού:</b> <a href="<?php the_field( "link_diagwnismou" ); ?>"><?php the_field( "link_diagwnismou" ); ?></a></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "oroi_diagwnismou" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Όροι διαγωνισμού:</b> <?php the_field( "oroi_diagwnismou" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
if( get_field( "plhrofories_diagwnismou" ) ): ?>
<p><b>Πληροφορίες διαγωνισμού:</b> <?php the_field( "plhrofories_diagwnismou" ); ?></p>
<?php endif;
?>
I use it in the loop.php
If anyone can help me sort by date i would be grateful!

/* ------------------------------------------------ QuForm Plugin - Form to Post ------------------------------------------------ */ add_action('iphorm_post_process_1', 'mytheme_create_wp_post', 10, 1); function mytheme_create_wp_post($form) { $title = $form->getValue('iphorm_1_1'); $content .= 'Δώρα διαγωνισμού: ' . $form->getValueHtml('iphorm_1_30') .
