I have a meta field where there is a time entered e.g. 12:0,0 13:03, 01:00... I would like to orderby this field "billing_eta"
currently, I have the below code which I have added the orderby and order args to, however, they are ignored.
how can I order by the time in a meta field?
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'billing_eta', //has no effect as its a meta field
'order' => 'DESC',
'status' => 'completed', // Accepts a string: one of 'pending', 'processing', 'on-hold', 'completed', 'refunded, 'failed', 'cancelled', or a custom order status.
'meta_key' => 'billing_date', // Postmeta key field
'meta_value' => $ppr_arrival_date, // Postmeta value field
'meta_compare' => '==', // Possible values are ‘==’, ‘!=’, ‘>’, ‘>=’, ‘<‘, ‘<=’, ‘LIKE’, ‘NOT LIKE’, ‘IN’, ‘NOT IN’, ‘BETWEEN’, ‘NOT BETWEEN’, ‘EXISTS’ (only in WP >= 3.5), and ‘NOT EXISTS’ (also only in WP >= 3.5). Values ‘REGEXP’, ‘NOT REGEXP’ and ‘RLIKE’ were added in WordPress 3.7. Default value is ‘=’.
);
$orders = wc_get_orders( $args );
it is now work using the following if it helps anyone else:
$args = array(
'status' => 'completed',
'orderby' => 'eta',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
'arrival_date' => array(
'key' => 'billing_date',
'value' => $ppr_arrival_date,
'compare' => '='
),
'eta' => array(
'key' => 'billing_eta',
'compare' => 'EXISTS',
'type' => 'TIME'
),
)
);

needed both meta elements in the meta_query thus:
$args = array(
'status' => 'completed',
'orderby' => 'eta',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
'arrival_date' => array(
'key' => 'billing_date',
'value' => $ppr_arrival_date,
'compare' => '='
),
'eta' => array(
'key' => 'billing_eta',
'compare' => 'EXISTS',
'type' => 'TIME'
),
)
);
