Sort fields in a loop alphabetically by first field

    Hi!
    I’m trying to sort a group of fields in a loop alphabetically according to the first field of the loop (a text field).
    Here’s my code so far:

    $fields = $cfs->get('fields');

foreach ($fields as $field) {
  $name = $field['name'];
  $text = $field['text'];

  if (!empty($fields)) {
    echo '<h4>' . $name . '</h4>';
    echo '<div class="text"> ' . $text . '</div>';
  }
}

    I’m not sure how to do this, and I found this question in the forum that might have given me an idea, but the link with the answer is no longer working.

    Thank you!

    $fields = $cfs->get( 'fields' );

$sorted = array();
foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
  $sorted[ $field['name'] ] = $field;
}

ksort( $sorted ); // sort by array key (which is the "name" field)

foreach ( $sorted as $field ) {
  $name = $field['name'];
  $text = $field['text'];

  if ( ! empty( $fields ) ) {
    echo '<h4>' . $name . '</h4>';
    echo '<div class="text"> ' . $text . '</div>';
  }
}

    Please give the plugin a good rating if you haven’t already ??

    Works perfect, thank you!

    I’ve already rated cfs 5 stars a couple of years ago, and it keeps getting better ??

    Hello this works really nice!

    I wonder if you could add a function, that we can sort a loop in the backoffice also by alphabet?
