How to order get_terms() based on a custom field
<?php
// Get terms - replace "SERMON" with your term
$terms = get_terms('SERMON');
// Set an empty array
$sermon_series = array();
// Loop through terms and build our array
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
// Advanced Custom Fields Date field
$sermon_series_date = get_field( 'sermon_series_date', $term );
$sermon_series[$sermon_series_date] = $term;
}
// Sort the terms by date
krsort( $sermon_series, SORT_NUMERIC );
// This will build the terms as cards
// I also has a custom field being used for category image
foreach ( $sermon_series as $sermon_series_date => $term ) {
$term_id = $term->term_id;
$image_id = get_field('sermon_category_image', $term);
$image = wp_get_attachment_image($image_id, 'sermon-card');
$intro_text = $term->meta[intro_text];
$term_link = get_term_link( $term );
?>
<div class="card">
<a href="<?php echo $term_link; ?>"><?php echo $image ?></a>
<div class="card-content">
<div class="title-wrap">
<h3><a href="<?php echo $term_link; ?>"><?php echo $term->name; ?></a></h3>
</div>
<p><?php echo $intro_text ?></p>
<a class="read-more" href="<?php echo $term_link; ?>">View Sermons</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
