sorting posts by custom fields

[revok]

Hello

I have recently uploaded a wordpress based homepage.
My client would very much like to be able to sort posts by way of custom fields.

Here is the specific page:
http://www.bisgaardlandskab.dk/ny/projekter

The custom fields are under each post called "type", "størrelse" (size), "årstal" (year).

Is there anyway I will be able to do this?

Thanks
Simon

thank you

Well it sort of works. Maybe you can tell me how to make it work as it should.
What i want is to make a link that makes it possible to sort by e.g “type”

If I add this:

Of course I need to add some more code for this, but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.

Thanks
Simon

What do you mean by link? Do you mean a few buttons that sort by letter or type or date, etc?

[revok]

yes
links that makes it possible for visitors to filter the posts

You could write your own PHP for this. Perhaps it links you yoursite.com/?sort=whatever

Then you $_GET, sanitize it, and use that in your query_posts on that page as the meta key. You could pass any number of variables this way.

Hi Chris.

Thank you very much. I am sure that this would work.
I am just a bit unsure about exactly how to do it. My php skills are quite limited…

Thanks

Hello again

Is there any simple way of describing this to a php noob?
