I think we’re closer, but no cigar 🙁 but I’ve also moved on to wp-query. I have it set up, but it’s still not pulling the category for the query. Here is my complete loop:

  <?php if( have_rows('parts_table') ): ?>

    <?php while( have_rows('parts_table') ): the_row(); ?>    
    

<?php
$catquery = new WP_Query( 'order=ASC&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=weight_(lbs.)&showposts=200&cat='.get_sub_field('part_category').'&post_type=sweeps' ); ?>
<table>
<tr><td>Part Number</td><td>Description</td><td>Weight (lbs.)</td>
<?php while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post();
?>

                <tr>
                    <td>
                    <?php the_field('part_number'); ?>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                    <?php the_field('description'); ?>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                    <?php the_field('weight_(lbs.)'); ?>
                    </td>            
                </tr>
            

<?php endwhile; ?>
      <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
    </table> 
      <?php endwhile;?>
    <?php endif; ?>

So there is my loop. If I manually enter a cat id it works, but it won’t pull my ACF field. Thanks so far!
