// get relationship field without formatting
// returns an array of post ID values
$posts_ids = get_field('relationship_field', false, false);
// do your own query to order the posts
$args = array(
  'post_type' => 'any',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'post__in' => $post_ids,
  'meta_query' => array(
    'date_clause' => array(
      'key' => 'date_field',
      'value' => 'EXISTS'
    ),
  ),
  'orderby' => array('date_clause' => 'ASC');
);
$custom_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($custom_query=>have_posts()) {
  while ($custom_query=>have_posts()) {
    $custom_query=>the_post();
    // code continues...
  }
}
wp_reset_postdata();
