      I have a field group called updates that I am trying to display in reverse order so that the last item I add displays as the most recent update. I’ve tried to use
      array_reverse but that doesn’t seem to work.

      $updates = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'all_program_updates', true);
      piklist(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/partials/program-updates', array('data' => $updates, 'loop' => 'data'));

      Is there a way to do this with the piklist function? To loop the data in reverse?
      Thanks for the help!!

      Hopefully Steve or someone who uses the Piklist template features will chime in, but I don’t personally use them.. the reason is the one that you’re experiencing now. I just want Piklist to store and retrieve the data for me, and I’ll determine how best to handle/manipulate it from there.

      If it’s a group, then I use my PiklistHelper::parse_array function to put it in an easier structure.

      I just use a foreach, parse through the content, and build the content. For example:

      $boxes = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'boxes_example', true);
$boxes = array_reverse(PiklistHelper::parse_array($boxes));
$list = '';
foreach($boxes as $box)
  $list .= "<h2>{$box['caption']}</h2><p>{$box['content']}</p>";

echo $list;

      Something like that, anyway. Now you can manipulate the array of data as you would any other array in php. No framework limitations. Hope this helps! 🙂

      Yeah Jason I found your helper function after I posted that and just finished up the code. Works great!!
      Thanks so much.

      Glad to help! If you have any issues feel free to add an Issue on github or make a pull request to add anything! I’m hoping folks will start adding to that more once they use Piklist regularly and have an idea of what would be useful. 🙂
