Ordering by custom date (meta) field not working?

I have a custom post type "prosjekter" where I want to order the posts by a custom date field. The date is saved as a unix timestamp, so it should be easy, but by some reason it just wont work. I also exclude those with a startdate earlier than today.

Can anyone see why?

Here is my query (and loop):



<?php 



$today = date('U');





$args = array(

	'post_type' => 'prosjekter',

   	'posts_per_page' => -1,

	'meta_query' => array(

		'key' => 'ecpt_konsertdato2',

		'value' => $today,

		'compare' => '>'

	),

    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',

    'meta_key' => 'ecpt_konsertdato2',

	'type' => 'NUMERIC',

    'order' => 'ASC'

 );?>

<?php 

$today = date('U');

$args = array(

    'post_type' => 'prosjekter',

    'order' => 'ASC',

    'meta_query' => array(

        array(

        	'posts_per_page' => -1,

            'key' => 'ecpt_konsertdato2',

            'value' => $today,

            'orderby' => 'meta_value',

            'compare' => '>',

            'order' => 'ASC'

        )

    )

 );



query_posts($args); 

if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="internliste">

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?> (<?php $custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);  

$date = $custom["ecpt_konsertdato2"][0];

echo date('d/m/Y', $date); ?>)</a>

</div>

<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

    Hej Torstein, what about this one:

    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
    
<?php 
    
$today = date('U');
    
$args = array(
    
    'post_type' => 'prosjekter',
    
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    
    'meta_key' => 'ecpt_konsertdato2',
    
    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    
    'order' => 'ASC'
    
    'meta_query' => array(
    
        array(
    
            'key' => 'ecpt_konsertdato2',
    
            'value' => $today,
    
            'type' => 'NUMERIC',
    
            'compare' => '>',
    
        )
    
    )
    
 );
    
$myquery = new WP_Query( $args );
    
while ( $myquery->have_posts() ) : $myquery->the_post(); ?>
    
	<div class="internliste">
    
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?> (
    
	<?php $custom = get_post_custom(get_the_ID());  
    
	$date = $custom["ecpt_konsertdato2"][0];
    
	echo date('d/m/Y', $date); ?>
    
	)</a>
    
</div>
    
<?php endwhile; ?>
    
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
