    Custom Fields are properly call Post Meta:

    So you would sort by Meta Value.

    Be warned of two things though:

    #1 see this post about Post Meta Key names when using the ACF plugin:

    https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/search-options-not-working-with-acf/#post-217575

    #2 If you sort by Meta Value, if a post has NO value set, the post will be excluded completely from the results. Thus, the Post Meta you sort on needs to have a vlaue for every post (this can be forced in the ACF Group field settings).
