Use ACF Field value in a WP_Query

Hi,

So I’m looking to edit a query and have the items output, by alphabetical order, based on a ACF Field I’ve created.

Here is the query as it stands:

      <?php $term_args = array(
          'post_type' => 'people',
          'posts_per_page' => -1,
          'tax_query' => $tax_query,
          'orderby' => 'title',
       );
       if (isset($s) && $s != '') {
          $term_args['s'] = $s;
      }
      $term_query = new WP_query($term_args);>

This currently shows based on the page title, from A-Z, as expected.

Within the custom post type People, I have a field for Surname, which I want to use to show the order from, again from A-Z. I’ve found other examples on here, but they seem to use a date field in ACF, and not a title, so I can’t really apply what I need.

Is what I’m looking to achieve possible?

Thanks,
