Hi vandelay,

the problem you describe is excactly what I stumbled on as well. While looking for a solution I came across your post.

I tried to adapt your code from above, but I think I don´t get it.

Here is code I am using right now, where the sorting order of the field is still wrong:

$lifestyle_data_fields = get_fields($post->ID);

// Here I need to get the fields and order them like they are ordered in the WP-Backend for a lifestyle_data post (or like they are ordered in the field-group, which is the same)

foreach ($lifestyle_data_fields as $name => $values) {
    if ($values) {
              foreach ($values as $value) {
                ...

Now I tried to adapt your code to match mine:

$lifestyle_data_fields = get_fields($post->ID);

function array_orderby()
	{
		$args = func_get_args();
		$data = array_shift($args);
		foreach ($args as $n => $field) {
    			if (is_string($field)) {
        			$tmp = array();
       				foreach ($data as $key => $row)
            			$tmp[$key] = $row[$field];
        			$args[$n] = $tmp;
        			}
			}
			$args[] = &$data;
			call_user_func_array('array_multisort', $args);
			return array_pop($args);
	}

$lifestyle_data_fields = array_orderby( $lifestyle_data_fields, 'menu_order', SORT_ASC);

foreach ($lifestyle_data_fields as $name => $values) {
    if ($values) {
              foreach ($values as $value) {
                ...

But I get an error message “Warning: Illegal string offset ‘menu_order’ ” and the sorting order is not changed.

Can you or somebody else help me to get this sorted?

Thanks in advance for any input,
Hendrik
