Is it possible to filter the results from the relationship field on the front end website so that they display by post type and/or taxonomy rather than just a list of all selected items.

So on the front end we would end up with a

for each of the post types and taxonomies that were selected in the admin.

Custom Post Type 1
Post 1
Post 2
Post 3

Custom Post Type 2
Post 4
Post 5

Custom Taxonomy 1
Post 6
Post 7

Custom Taxonomy 2
Post 8
Post 9

I’ve done this with get_post_type():

<?php

$rel_field_ids = get_field( 'rel_field' );
$rel_field_ids_grouped = array();

foreach ( $rel_field_ids as $rel_field_id )
{
	$post_type = get_post_type( $rel_field_id );
	$rel_field_ids_grouped[ $post_type ][] = $rel_field_id;
}

ksort( $rel_field_ids_grouped );
print_r( $rel_field_ids_grouped );

?>

Code not tested.
