    I recently tried using the Post Expirator plugin which worked great. Then I tried using the follow code to sort all posts by ASC order according to the expiry date, . but this just displayed by the order which I had posted them.

    • But If I made a custom field called start-date and value of YYYY-MM-DD, how would I call the query in the function.php file, to display posts in order that they occur? This is in multiple categories with subcategories.

    Example: Event #1 June 01 2014
    Event #2 Dec 17 2014

    Many thanks to those who can help. Been trying to get this to work for awhile.

Go to http://www.billerickson.net/customize-the-wordpress-query/, scroll down to "Modify Query based on Post Meta" and use that code (modify to your needs).
