[Resolved] ACF fields order not respected in second language

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with the auto-translate functionality where the order of team members in the 'The Management Team' section is different on the translated page compared to the original.
Solution:
We have identified that the issue is related to the Post Object and there is a known workaround for it. If you're using a custom order for related posts in a Relationship or Post Object field and notice that the order is not maintained after translation, it's likely because the posts are being ordered by ID instead of the custom order. To fix this, you can add the following code snippet to your theme's

functions.php

file:

add_filter( 'acf/load_value/type=post_object', 'format_order' );
function format_order( $value ){
  
$lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
    foreach ($value as $key => $id) {
        $type = get_post_type($id);
        $value[$key] = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $id, $type, true, $lang);
    }
return $value;
}
