Order of Flexible Content Field

Hi there,

on the page http://dev.kinnertied.npire.de/projekte/ I use a flexible content field, which orders the project wrongly. I know I can order the flexible content in backend, but then the enduser for whom I’m making the site would always have to order it by herself as she would make a new project.

This is my code:

<?php
/* Template Name: Projekte */
get_header();
?>

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('post_type=projekte&orderby=projekt&order=DESC'); ?>
<div id="content" class="clearfix" role="main">
    <?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
            <div id="title"><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1></div>
            <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
            <?php
            if (have_rows('projekt')):
                while (have_rows('projekt')) : the_row();
                    if (get_row_layout() == 'jahr'):
                        ?>

                        <div class="jahreszahl">&nbsp;<?php the_sub_field('jahreszahl'); ?>&nbsp;</div>

                    <?php elseif (get_row_layout() == 'projektreihe'):
                        ?>

                        <div class="projektreihe">
                            <div class="projektbild"><?php echo wp_get_attachment_image(get_sub_field('projektbild')); ?></div>
                            <div class="monat"><?php the_sub_field('monat'); ?></div>
                            <div class="headline"><?php the_sub_field('headline'); ?></div>
                            <div class="subline"><?php the_sub_field('subline'); ?></div>
                            <?php
                            if (have_rows('links')):
                                while (have_rows('links')) : the_row();
                                    if (get_sub_field('linkbezeichner'))
                                    {
                                        ?> 
                                        <a class="url" href="<?php the_sub_field('url'); ?>"><?php the_sub_field('linkbezeichner'); ?></a>
                                        <?php
                                    }
                                    else
                                    {
                                        ?>
                                        <a class="url" href="<?php the_sub_field('url'); ?>"><?php the_sub_field('url'); ?></a>
                                        <?php
                                    }
                                endwhile;
                            endif;
                            ?>
                        </div>
                        <?php
                    endif;

                endwhile;

            else :

            // no layouts found

            endif;
            ?>
            <?php
        endwhile;
    endif;
    ?>
</div><!-- #content -->

<?php
get_footer();

I tried already
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('post_type=projekte&orderby=projekte&order=DESC'); ?>
with orderby=projekte and orderby=jahreszahl, each with order=ASC and order=DESC.

None of it helped. What can I do to order the whole by ‘jahreszahl’?

EDIT: I found a big mistake I made: If I never run $the_query against the loop nothing can change. I updated my code a bit:

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('page_id=37&orderby=projekt&order=DESC'); ?>
<div id="content" class="clearfix" role="main">
    <?php if ($the_query->have_posts()): while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

But it didn’t help. No matte if I take order=ASC or order=DESC.

Perhaps I should run a query against have_rows, but I don’t know how to do that.
