I want to order by a ACF numeric field however i can’t seem to get it to work:

$args = array(
                                    'posts_per_page' => 20,
                                    'category_name' => 'staff-' . $wp_query->queried_object->post_name,
                                    'meta_key' => 'scroller_order',
                                    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
                                    'type' => 'NUMERIC',
                                    'order' => 'ASC'
                                );

The ACF field is called scroller_order and it only allows numbers but I want to order by whatever the person puts in that field I can’t seem to get it to work.

Try with 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num'
I think you can remove 'type' => 'NUMERIC'
