NO BUG: Query Filter and Sorting via custom field / meta key - Not Working For me and Others

Bugs
1

v.1.9.8

I have a query and want to sort it with a Filter - Select Element. I want to filter by custom field. I use Metabox. My custom field in Metabox has this id: package_card_region

So my custom field is in a group.

The group is called: package_card_details.

The field I want to filter by is called: package_card_region

I have tried the following so far always clicking “Update Filter” afterwards:

package_card_region

cf_package_card_region

{cf_package_card_region}

package_card_details_package_card_region

cf_package_card_details_package_card_region

{cf_package_card_details_package_card_region}

{mb_packages_package_card_details_package_card_region}

NONE of these work and after a facebook discussion It was suggested that I report it.

NO BUG. It doesn’t work because Metabox Custom Field Groups save data in a serialized array and bricks cant retrieve the individual fields from the array.

So how did you solve it? I’m using the custom table.
