    How do I order places by highest rating? I have this but it doesn’t seem to work:

    $posts = new WP_Query(array(
    	'post_type' => 'gd_place',
    	'posts_per_page' => 5,
    	'orderby' => 'high_rating'
    ));

    Note: I’m trying to accomplish this on a regular WP page template, not an geo directory template. I’ve even tried this:

    $posts = new WP_Query(array(
    	'post_type' 		=> 'gd_place',
    	'posts_per_page' 	=> 5,
            'sort_by' 		=> 'overall_rating_desc',
    ));

    Hello,

    GD uses custom tables and we don’t have an integration with that plugin.

    Have you looked at the plugin code? You can check the widgets like GD Listings and GD Loop to see how our queries are created.

    Thanks Alex. Is there any way one of your developers can provide a simple solution for ordering by highest rating using a simple WP_Query? I checked widget code and it’s a little above my pay-grade. 🙂

    Maybe a simple filter I can add to functions.php?

    Hello Aleks,

    Currently there is no way to retrieve listings via custom WP_Query. You can use REST API http://www.YOUR-SITE.COM/wp-json/geodir/v2/places/?orderby=overall_rating_desc&order=desc

    Thanks Kiran! I’ll check that out.

    For now, I did end up finding a solution:

    
    
    // Main args
    
    	$post_type = 'gd_place';
    	
    	$args = array(
    		'post_type' 		=> $post_type,
    		'posts_per_page' 	=> 5
    	);
    	
    // Sort by highest rated using GeoDirectory query args filter
    
    	$temp_args = $args;
    	
    	$geodir_sort = 'high_rating'; // or 'overall_rating_asc'
    	
    	$test_instance = array (
    		'post_limit' 	=> 5,
    		'post_type' 	=> $post_type,
    		'sort_by' 		=> $geodir_sort
    	);
    	
    	$temp_args['is_geodir_loop'] = true;
    	$temp_args['order_by'] 		= $geodir_sort;
    	
    	$temp_args = apply_filters( 'geodir_widget_listings_query_args', $temp_args, $test_instance );
    	$widget_listings = geodir_get_widget_listings( $temp_args );
    	
    	$post_ids = array();
    	foreach( $widget_listings as $listing ) {
    		$post_ids[] = $listing->ID;
    	}
    
    	$args['post__in'] 	= $post_ids;
    	$args['order'] 		= 'DESC';
    	$args['orderby'] 	= 'post__in';
    	
    // The loop
    	
    	$places = new WP_Query($args);
    	
    	if ( $places->have_posts() ) :
    		while ( $places->have_posts() ) : $places->the_post();
    			echo '<div class="listing"><div class="the-title">'.get_the_title().'</div></div>';
    		endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();
    	endif;

    Basically you build your query args, retrieve post ids using geodir widget query args filter, and then pull those into the main args using “post__in”.

    Hope this helps someone else in the future!
