Sort of a repeater

Hi Elliot,

I know you have a tutorial for this (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/how-to-sorting-a-repeater-field/) but I’m a little confused. Once you get down to the last part

foreach( $repeater as $row )
{
	// ...
}

what do you use to get the fields?

I have this code below, but doesn’t bring back the first_name or last_name fields. It outputs the <li></li> elements just fine though, so it must be working. I did a print_r on $row and have posted an example of the dump below.

Thanks in advance,
R

<?php $team_repeater = get_field('meet_the_team');
 foreach( $team_repeater as $key => $row ) {
 $column_id[ $key ] = $row['last_name'];
 } array_multisort( $column_id, SORT_ASC, $team_repeater ); ?>
 <ul>
 <?php foreach( $team_repeater as $row ) { ?>
   <li><?php the_sub_field('first_name'); ?>&nbsp;<?php the_sub_field('last_name'); ?></li>
<?php } ?>

Array ( [first_name] => Bob [last_name] => Johnston )

Hi @rdck

In your final loop, you can access the data like so:

<?php foreach( $team_repeater as $row ) { ?>
   <li><?php echo $row['first_name']; ?></li>
<?php } ?>

Thanks
