Ordering issue with repeater field

Hi guys,

I am having an issue with the ordering of a repeater field.

I have a post object (people custom post type) in my repeater field and have them dragged to their correct positions. I then add this array of post IDs for use in a WP_Query to display them in that exact order. Although, some times this ordering doesn’t work (like in this case).

My ordering is like so:

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  int(75)
  [1]=>
  int(514)
  [2]=>
  int(87)
  [3]=>
  int(464)
}

My WP_Query args are as follows

$args = array(
   'post_type' => 'person',
   'posts_per_page' => -1,
   'post__in' => $chosen_people_array,
   'orderby' => 'post__in'
);

Incorrect ordering when outputted from query

<div class="person-item" id="id-75"></div>
<div class="person-item" id="id-514"></div>
<div class="person-item" id="id-464"></div>
<div class="person-item" id="id-87"></div>
