 * Hi,
 * I don’t do a lot of customization and my php knowledge is limited. I am just 
   hoping that I can use this plugin to order my page by custom field values.
 * I have an admin field I set up for dates of particular games.
 * I am using categories for sports teams and trying to order all products based
   on this custom game date field. I am not having sucess / not sure if this is 
   even possible as I have not been able to find much help online.
 * This is what I have at the moment:
 * [product_category per_page=”150″ columns=”4″ orderby=”meta_value” meta_key=”game_date”
   meta_type=”DATE” order=”asc” category=”philadelphia-76ers”]
 * I also tried:
    [product_category per_page=”150″ columns=”4″ orderby=”meta_value”
   meta_key=”wccpf_game_date” meta_type=”DATE” order=”asc” category=”philadelphia-
   76ers”]
 * But that also failed.
 * Is it even possible to order by these custom fields via short code?
