What It Does

The Repeater and Flexible Content Field features make ACF really powerful, but if you have more than a few fields with either, they become unwieldy to sort. This plugin collapses each instance of the repeated fields—only for the Row layout—to allow for easy sorting.

To help identify each repeater field group when collapsed, the first field of each repeated field group is shown. See the screenshots for an example.

Requirements: Advanced Custom Fields 4.X AND one or both of the Repeater Field or Flexible Content Field paid add-ons. ACF 5.X PRO is also required. Both ACF 4.X and ACF 5.X must use the Row Layout.
