title: WordPress sort post query by date field, but formatted as a string (April 12, 2012)
body: <p>I'm trying to sort a post query, I'm using Advanced custom fields to populate each post with a field called date. The value of the field is a date formatted as a string, example (April 12, 2012). </p>
  
  <p>Due to it being formatted as a string I can't sort it using Wordpress's orderby Date query, but I need them to be ordered by their date value.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried looping through the query, storing the post objects into an array, converting the string dates into numerical dates and then sorting the resulting numerical date array. Which works, but I just end up with a sorted array of numerical dates, If I can get a way to query that sorted array of dates in the order that the array has them in, I can get this solved. </p>
