Reply To: Repeater sorted by Date

Do you mind giving me any tips on formatting and code structure? I am kinda new to PHP and although this works I am not confident.

One other question I have is, can you recommend a way to approach a UI that would let a user jump to points on the page that are grouped into the same month? Back story is each repeater will have a name and date and now, since I can sort the list by date I was hoping to make it easier for the user to jump to the content for August.

<!-- repeater	-->
   <?php
     $repeater = get_field('race_event');
       foreach( $repeater as $key => $row )
         { 
           $column_id[ $key ] = $row['race_date'];
          } 
            array_multisort( $column_id, SORT_ASC, $repeater );
            foreach( $repeater as $row ) :
              {
                echo '<li>' . $row['race_name'] . '</li>';
		$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', $row['race_date']); 
		echo '<li>' . $date->format('m-d-Y') . '</li>';
               }
         endforeach;
     ?>
