    Hi, is it possible to take data from a Meta Box group and order by ASC or DESC? The use case here is I'm building a team module with separate First Name and Last Name fields and I want to organize them by Last name first in the front end and go descending last name A->Z regardless of the alphabetization of the first name.

    Hello,

    I think it is possible. You can use some PHP sort array functions to sort the array by key or value. Following some links below

    Oh thanks Peter! I'm using the Meta Box builder interface (not the coding interface). Can I still use these array functions for the group? Or do I have to code this in?

    Hello,

    The builder helps you to create the field, you still need to use the code to output the field value, and custom code to sort the value.
