 * Sort child entries by a field value (e.g. name, number, date, etc).
 *
 * Warning: This does not work for child entries being displayed inside a Nested Form field on the parent form.
 * Currently, this is limited to the Nested Entries Simple template but can be easily extended to support other
 * post-submission templates. Let us know what you need!
