Hey
Thanks for the reply.
That helps a little. I now have this filter in place, which as you say, orders the posts by menu_order.
// filter for every field
add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/query', 'my_relationship_query', 10, 3);
function acf_relationship_query( $args, $field, $post )
{
$args['orderby'] = 'menu_order';
return $args;
}
But, this takes the menu_order as is. By this I mean, you would have a root level post with a menu_order of 1. But you also have a child of a root level post also with a menu_order of 1. This means that the posts aren’t in a hierarchical order still.
Using my example in the first post, you would now have:
1/ Electrical Items
1.1/Drills
3.1/ Bricks
1.2/Mowers
2/ Timber
3.2/ Plumbimg
3/ Building Materials
Really what I need to be able to do is create a recursive function that orders the posts under a specific post, and return them in an ordered array?
