Sort Field Group's sub fields

Hi,

First what a great plugin! Saves me hours of work.

I am using a field group with repeater sub fields. I need to sort by the sub field group.

I am not seeing an easy way to do this, is there and id added to the group subfields that I can use for an array to change the sort order?

below is my code so far:

<div class="section_wrap">	
        <?php while(has_sub_field('featured_property')){ ?>         
				<h1 class="property"><?php the_sub_field('property_address'); ?></h1>

        		
                <div class="left_col">
        			<img src="<?php the_sub_field('property_image'); ?>" alt=""/>
                   
        			<strong>Price:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><?php the_sub_field('price'); ?>
                </div><!--leftcol-->
      			<div class="mid_col"><strong> Bedroom:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> <?php the_sub_field('bedrooms'); ?><br/>
        					<strong>Baths:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> <?php the_sub_field('baths'); ?><br/>
        					<strong>Car Storage:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><?php the_sub_field('car_storage'); ?><br/>
        					<strong>Heat:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><?php the_sub_field('heat'); ?><br/>
        					<strong>Style:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><?php the_sub_field('style'); ?><br/>
        					<strong>Total Sq Ft:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><?php the_sub_field('total_sq_ft'); ?><br/>
       						<strong>HOA Named:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><?php the_sub_field('hoa_name'); ?><br/>
        					<strong>HOA Quoted:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><?php the_sub_field('hoa_quoted'); ?>
                            <?php if( get_sub_field('website_address')): ?>
							<strong>Website Address:</strong><br/><?php the_sub_field('website_address'); ?>

							<?php endif; ?>
				</div><!--mid col-->
				<div class="right_col"><strong>Additional Features:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> 
                 <?php the_sub_field('additional_features'); ?>
				 
                </div><!--rightcol-->

<?php 
$value = get_sub_field('sold_image');
if( $value == 1 )
{
 echo '<div class="sold"></div>';
}
else
{
 
}
?> <?php } ?>
      </div><!--section_wrap-->

Also I want to have the latest entry when I add a row to be added at the top on the back end so my client doesn’t have to scroll to the bottom of the page to add a new group of data. Am I just missing a toggle somewhere that can show the latest first?

Thank you in advance for your help…

Hi @dillig

When editing the data, please use the “+” button which is on the top right of the row (when hovering on a row) to add a new row above the current position. This is how you can add a new row to the top.

You can sort the repeater field data by following this documentation article:
