Sort custom post types by subfields

Is it possible to sort custom post types according to a subfield?

for example,

A Plot is a custom post type containing a group with the following fields;

Name,
Size,
Number

Is it possible to use either get_posts() or WP_query() to get a bunch of Plots and to sort them by one of the subfields?

Something similar to this but for a subfield within a group would be ideal.

Thanks!

No, you cannot sort by sub fields. Each sub field has a different meta_key. See my post here https://acfextras.com/dont-query-repeaters/
