Ordering taxonomy terms

Hello,

I have a custom post type with a taxonomy ‘departments’. I am using the basic foreach loop, but the terms are coming out in a random order, and I’d like to order them alphabetically, but I can’t figure out how to do it.

Is there any way that I can order the terms that are coming out?

Thanks!

I figured it out… for anyone that’s looking for the answer:

<?php

$terms = get_field('portfolio');
                 
                                 usort($terms, function($a, $b) {return strcmp($a->name, $b->name);});
                                 if( $terms ):
                                     echo '<ul>';
                 
                                     foreach( $terms as $term ):
                 
                                       echo '<li>';
                 
                                         $name = $term->name;
                 
                                         echo $name;
                 
                                       echo '</li>';
              
                                     endforeach;
                                     echo '</ul>';
                                 endif;

?>

ACF returns them in the order that they are selected, which may be why they seem random.
