Hi @trainsrenton

After that, you can sort the data by using the array_multisort() function. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to-sorting-a-repeater-field/. Here’s an example how to do it:

$rows = ''; // The variable that holds the repeater result

// vars
$order = array();

// populate order
foreach( $rows as $i => $row ) {
	
	$order[ $i ] = $row['meta_value'];
	
}

// multisort
array_multisort( $order, SORT_ASC, $rows );

$current_month = null;
foreach( $rows as $row){
    $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', $row['meta_value']);
    $month = $date->format('F');
    if( $current_month != $month ){
        echo $month . "\r\n";
        $current_month = $month;
    }
    echo $row['meta_value'] . "\r\n";
}

You can also get the post object by using the get_post() function like this:

echo $row['meta_value'] . "\r\n";
$thepost = get_post($row['post_id']);
print_r($thepost);

I hope this helps 🙂
