I'm currently making up my portfolio in WP; it's the first time I've ever used it, and on the whole I'm impressed by its flexibility.
But I've got a problem.
The way I've set it up is that each item in my portfolio is a post. I want to have two fields - "Client" and "Year of creation" - display with every post.
Ah, custom fields look like just the thing, I thought. But they're incredibly frustrating to implement - not only am I finding the code behind them obtuse, but they're also sometimes not displaying in the same order each time.
For example, most posts will display like so:
Client: In-house
Year: 2009
But every so often, for reasons I haven't fathomed yet, it'll display:
Year: 2009
Client: Hyperglobalmegacorp
So my questions are: are custom fields the best way to do this in the first place? And if so, how can I force the order?
Also, I want to sort the display of all posts in index.php by "Year of creation" by default. I'm stumped on this one, too. Any pointers?
Ta for any advice
