I came up with a solution for this:

$fields = get_fields();

if( $fields )
{

    // Reorder based on menu order, rather than id
    foreach( $fields as $field_name => $value )
    {
        $field = get_field_object($field_name, false, array('load_value' => false));

        $menu_order[$field_name] = $field["menu_order"];
    }

    array_multisort($menu_order, SORT_ASC, $fields);
}

I’m not actually seeing the issue on the link you provided, did you already fix it?

This is more of an excerpt issue. By default WP strips out shortcodes from the excerpt, might you have a plugin installed or line in functions.php that alters how excerpts are handled.

Listing categories is not the purpose of this plugin, but rather listing posts from categories.

There’s another plugin from the same author that does that here
