I'm confused, are you trying to add the page attribute's order option to Advanced Custom Fields, and If so, why are you trying to do that.

So what you need to do is add a new custom field to your custom post type called something like "staff order". Then you will need to create a custom wp_query object to order the staff posts in "staff order".

<?php 
        $args = array(
            'post_type' => 'NAME_OF_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE',
            'orderby' => 'meta_value',
            'meta_key' => 'NAME_OF_CUSTOM_FIELD',
            'order' => 'ASC'

        );
        $query = new WP_Query( $args );

        <?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>

          <!-- the loop -->
          <?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
            <!-- Staff Post HTML -->
          <?php endwhile; ?>
          <!-- end of the loop -->

          <?php //wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

        <?php else:  ?>

        <?php endif; ?>
?>

Is it possible to display multiple custom fields on one page?

Yes, inside the loop you simply call the_field("name_of_custom_field") for each custom field you want displayed.
