Arrange fields according to drag & drop

Hello,
I have a function to display all the fields with content in a specific post:

function woo_new_product_tab_content() {
// The new tab content
$prod_id = get_the_ID();
$fields = get_fields();

if( $fields ){ ?>

<?php foreach( $fields as $name => $value ):
$field_name = $name;

$field1 = get_field_object($field_name);
if ($value){ ?>

• <b><u><?php echo $field1[‘label’]; ?></u></b><br> <?php echo $field1[‘value’]; ?>

<?php }
endforeach; ?>

<?php }

The problem is that the order that the fields appear on the page is according to the time I created the field.

I want the fields to appear according to the order on the admin panel (ordered with drag&drop), Is that possible?

Basically, no. ACF uses get_post_meta() without a $key and the values are returned in the order returned by this function. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/

If you want them to be displayed in a specific order this is something you’ll need to deal with.

You might try get_field_objects() https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field_objects/, but to be honest, I don’t know what order these are returned in. It could be the same.
