We need to show in the frontend the items of a custom field sorted as planned by the client inside the backend (the custom post values are sortable in the backend and we need to know what parameter we have to set in Views so to respect the custom sorting of the client in the backend)

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

If you mean that you want to sort the results using a custom field with your view on frontend - here is the Doc you should try to follow that will allow you to add the sorting controls to your view.

Hi,
it is not what I mean.
In the backend our client has the possibility to sort the items of a custom field by drag/drop the items (they are repeatable fields within a custom field). They need that the order they decide in the backend shall be reflected in the frontend

Ok - if you can share the screenshot of your edit post screen where I can see your field that would be great, once I review that I will be able to guide you in the right direction.

Ok - now I can see that its repeating field group not repeating field.

I hope you already followed the following doc to display the repeating field group:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/creating-and-displaying-repeatable-field-groups/#displaying-repeatable-field-groups

Now, to sort the repeating field group entries as per your post - you should select Field – toolset-post-sortorder from the Ordering section of your view.
