Been bashing away at this for hours with no joy.
I have a set of custom fields in a repeater on posts in the “episodes” category.

I’m trying to do a query that outputs those custom fields and sorts them alphabetically by the name of the “episode_canon_show” custom field which uses the post_tag taxonomy.
The output is no problem but I can’t get the sorting to take hold. I’ve scoured the forums but I didn’t see anything that matched what I am doing. Thank you!
Are you trying to order the posts by the field?
or are you just trying to order the repeater by that sub field?
Doing either is not possible without a lot of work, but the work is different depending on which you are attempting to do.
Thanks for the follow up @hube2. I was trying to order the posts by that field (basically I big list of the shows in that taxonomy). I ended up using a javascript table sorter to adjust the output after ACF was done with it. I couldn’t figure it out and if YOU are saying it’s a lot of work then 100% I’d never figure it out — I’m just a code scavenger. 🙂 Thanks.
