order by custom field - wordpress

Question

I'm trying to sort a page of posts by a custom field.

Here's what I have so far, I'm just not sure how or where to add the orderby

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'new',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'over-make',
            'value' => 'Doral',
            'compare' => 'LIKE'
        )
    )

 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args);

Solution

You would use orderby on the same level as post_type and meta_query in your example.

$args = array(
    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    'post_type' => 'new',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'over-make',
            'value' => 'Doral',
            'compare' => 'LIKE'
        )
    )

 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args);
