Group posts by Custom field

I tried using the query_args filter, but nothing was displayed at all:

function layout_query_args( $args ) {
	$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'Institutions',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => -1,
		'meta_query' => array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			array(
				'key' => 'country_bd',
				'value' => 'my-val',
				'compare' => '='
			),
			array(
				'key' => 'country_bd',
				'value' => '',
				'compare' => '!='
			)
		)
	);

	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
	<ul>
		<h2>
			<?php $key; ?>
		</h2>
		<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
			<li id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
			</li>
		<?php
		endwhile;
		wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
	</ul>
	<?php endif;
}
add_filter( 'custom-layouts/layout/query_args', 'layout_query_args', 10 );

Hey @atoyansk

That code looks a little off.

Lets try to look at the issue another way (I hope I understood it correctly).

Why don’t we create 3 seperate layouts, and for each one, restrict them to a specific country?

If that sounds like what you are trying to do, or would work, then I can help with the logic to set that up.

The other question would be, how are you creating layouts, via the block editor, or via our admin pages?

Thanks
