Easier sorting for large repeated fields in the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
As of April 2026, Advanced Custom Fields Repeater & Flexible Content Fields Collapser is a WordPress acf plugin with 4.0K+ active installations and a 4.7/5 rating from 14 reviews. It has been downloaded 94K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.0.0+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2013. Last updated 8 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Download volume is stable this week. Top alternative: Advanced Custom Fields (ACF®).
The Repeater and Flexible Content Field features make ACF really powerful, but if you have more than a few fields with either, they becomes 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:
Other contributors:
I can only see a “Collapse All Rows” button and it’s half overlapped by the field below it. There is no way to collapse individual rows.
I’m using ACF 5.6.7
Thanks to developer who developed this plugin.
It’s easy to use and solved my problem.
Thanks again.
Keep developing useful plugins.
Very good.
If you use repeater fields this is a must have for the sanity of your site admins. Docked a star because many people have requested they default to a closed position, but nothing has been done to make it so. Tack this into the last line of your plugin’s js files: $('button.field-repeater-toggle-all').click();
My client asked for this exact functionality for a repeater field that has a ton of subfields. The plugin works PERFECTLY and has a much more polished UI than I would have had time to throw together. Thank you so much for this!!
