TrishaM, thank you for your answer.

The dates are stored in this format: m.d.Y

But they are stored in the custom field movie_time_values together with some other values. Example value:
',{"theatre":"","date":"05.28.2016","time":"20:00","place":"","ticket":"","button_text":"","button_link":""}'

So I need to sort the value of “date” ascending, in above example with value: 05.28.2016.

I am also struggling with some values in this code:

'meta_key' => 'movie_time_values',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query'	=> array(
'relation'		=> 'AND',
	array(
	'key'		=> 'movie_time_values',
	'value'		=> $today,
	'compare'	=> '>='
))

I don’t know if relation is needed.
And i think value needs to be an array, because i need to point to the value of the date portion..

Last night i was trying to get the post_id and date (strtotime) together in one array. Then reorder the array using ksort.

I was able to create the following array, but i wans’t able to sort on date. And after that i don’t know how to loop through the posts with the new ordered post_id list:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [1475193600] => 2067
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [1475280000] => 2070
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [1475280000] => 2078
        )
