I have posts sorted by different parameters. Each post has an ACF select field top_rated. There is also sorting by Top Rated parameter - this is a separate parameter in the admin panel for each post. The ACF top_rated field can have 3 values: Number_1 Number_2 Number_3 I need to make sure that if the sorting is by Top Rated, then the first three posts are displayed those with the ACF value of the field top_rated Number_1 Number_2 Number_3 and only then all the rest. Now my code displays only the post with Number_1, but I need the first three posts with Number_1 Number_2 Number_3 and then all the rest. How to do it? static function load_brokers_by_category($array_filter) { $tax_query = []; if (!empty($array_filter)) { $tax_query = [ 'relation' => 'AND' ]; $all_taxonomy = get_object_taxonomies(['brokers']); foreach ($array_filter as $taxonomy => $tax_item) { if (in_array($taxonomy, $all_taxonomy)) { if (is_array($tax_item)) { foreach ($tax_item as $t_i) { if (!empty($t_i)) { $t_a[] = [ 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy, 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => explode(',', $t_i) ]; } } if (!empty($t_a)) { $tax_query[] = array_merge(['relation' => 'OR'], $t_a); } } else { if (!empty($tax_item)) { $tax_query[] = [ 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy, 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => explode(',', $tax_item) ]; } } } } } $sort_by = isset($_GET['sort_by']) ? sanitize_text_field($_GET['sort_by']) : (isset($_POST['sort_by']) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['sort_by']) : 'post_date'); $wp_query_array = [ 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'post_type' => 'brokers', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'tax_query' => $tax_query, 'order' => ($sort_by === 'post_date') || ($sort_by === 'top_rated') ? 'DESC' : (($sort_by === 'title') || ($sort_by === 'low_rated') ? 'ASC' : 'meta_value_num'), 'orderby' => ($sort_by === 'post_date') ? 'post_date' : (($sort_by === 'title') ? 'title' : 'meta_value_num'), 'meta_key' => 'rating' ]; if ($sort_by === 'top_rated') { $wp_query_array['meta_query'] = [ 'relation' => 'AND', [ 'key' => 'top_rated', 'value' => 'Number_1', 'compare' => '=', ], ]; } $query_brokers = new WP_Query($wp_query_array); return $query_brokers; } Run code snippetExpand snippet
