I am trying to: in a View over RFG i want to sort the records of a repeatable fieldgroup by the defined order

I expected to see: the sortorder according to the order in the post

Instead, I got: random order, it seems

Hello,

I have tried it in my localhost with a fresh wordpress installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins, it works fine, the sorting repeatable field group results by field "toolset-post-sortorder" works without any problem.

I suggest you check these:
1) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate all other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2019, deactivate all custom PHP/JS code snippets, and test again

2) If you are using other cache plugin, please clear your website cache, and test again

Man, i was shooting too fast. I didn't choose the "treat as number" option together with the toolset-postorder field.... now it works, duuh
Thanks!
