I really appreciate all your help! Sorry I’m not doing the best job explaining or understanding.

When I echo the results of ‘application_type’ it is printing out “Array”, unless I do $arr[0] then it will print out like “Bathtub”.

$arr = get_field('application_type', $post->ID); echo $arr;

I want my orderby to use just the first item in the Array, currently it won’t even work period, even if just one value in ‘application_type’. I am allowing the admin to select checkboxes, but tried allowing them to select just one value from a drop down and the orderby works great.

Hopefully I am making a little more sense? Thank you so much for your help!
