Hi @rhodesign

This is what I can come up with:

// find todays date
$today = date('Ymd');

$args = array(
	'numberposts'	=> -1,
	'post_type'		=> 'test',
	'meta_query'	=> array(
		'relation'		=> 'AND',
		array(
			'key' => 'date',
			'value' => $today,
			'compare' => '<',
        ),
	)
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$post_ids = wp_list_pluck( $the_query->posts, 'ID' );
$artist_list = array();

foreach($post_ids as $post_id){
    $artist_repeater = get_field('artists', $post_id);
    foreach($artist_repeater as $artist_detail){
        array_push($artist_list, $artist_detail);
    }
}
$artist_list = array_map("unserialize", array_unique(array_map("serialize", $artist_list)));
$order = array();
foreach( $artist_list as $i => $row ) {
	$order[ $i ] = $row['artistname'];
}
array_multisort( $order, SORT_ASC, $artist_list );
echo "<pre>";
print_r($artist_list);
echo "</pre>";

This code will list the artists name and websites in an array. It’s more of a PHP issue, so If you don’t understand it, please ask in the PHP forum or hire a developer to help you out with it.

I hope this helps.
