This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a View that displays a list of posts. I would like to order the list by some criteria within the posts.
Solution: Use the Ordering panel sidebar of the main View settings when you select the top-level View block in the block editor to change the sort order criteria. You can choose a post date criteria or a custom field criteria, and set primary and secondary sorting options for the View.

Hello, it sounds like you want to sort a View of results based on some criteria within the posts, like the post date or a custom field value. When editing a View in the Block Editor, you can adjust the View's sort order by selecting the top-level View block. When you do that, an "Ordering Settings" panel will appear in the sidebar, and you can choose the sorting criteria for the View. I'm attaching a screenshot here showing that panel in the sidebar when a top-level View is selected in the Block Editor. By default, post date is the usual sorting criteria, but you could choose a custom field here instead, if you'd prefer to sort on that criteria.
Please let me know if I've misunderstood what you want to achieve, and I can take a closer look.
