Hello,

How do you setup the "day of week" field?
Is it a custom select field?
If it is, you can setup the option "Custom field content" and option "Display text" differently, for example:
- Display text: Sun, Custom field content: 0
- Display text: Mon, Custom field content: 1
- Display text: Tue, Custom field content: 2
...

See screenshot day-of-week.JPG

So you will be able to order result by "day of week" field option value in your view.
