Reply To: Fix for Displaying Fields According to Field Order (using get_field_objects)

If anyone else is having issues with this I also came up with a solution:

Get all meta data for post/custom post type:

$meta_data = get_field_objects($post->ID);

Add a function to sort array by given key(in our case ‘menu_order’)

function array_sort($array, $on, $order=SORT_ASC){
	    $new_array = array();
	    $sortable_array = array();

	    if (count($array) > 0) {
	        foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
	            if (is_array($v)) {
	                foreach ($v as $k2 => $v2) {
	                    if ($k2 == $on) {
	                        $sortable_array[$k] = $v2;
	                    }
	                }
	            } else {
	                $sortable_array[$k] = $v;
	            }
	        }

	        switch ($order) {
	            case SORT_ASC:
	                asort($sortable_array);
	            break;
	            case SORT_DESC:
	                arsort($sortable_array);
	            break;
	        }

	        foreach ($sortable_array as $k => $v) {
	            $new_array[$k] = $array[$k];
	        }
	    }

	    return $new_array;
	}

Sort meta data ascending by calling function
$sorted_meta_data = array_sort($meta_data, 'menu_order', SORT_ASC);

Or sort meta data descending by calling function
$sorted_meta_data = array_sort($meta_data, 'menu_order', SORT_DESC);

Show all data. In my case I have a field called ‘product_image’ and I don’t want to show that field in my

• so I ignore it in my loop.

  <ul class="Product-data">
  <?php
  foreach ($sorted_meta_data as $meta) { ?>
    <?php if( !empty($meta['value'])) : ?>
     <?php if($meta == 'product_image') continue; ?>
      <li class="Product-item u-block u-cf">
       <span class="Product-label"><?php echo $meta['label']; ?></span>
       <span class="Product-value"><?php echo $meta['value']; ?></span>
     </li>
  <?php endif;  } ?>
  </ul>
