ACF relationship posts showing in the wrong order

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is using ACFML version 2.1.4.2 and has encountered an issue that hasn't been addressed in this version yet. They mentioned that a known workaround still functions.
Solution:
We have acknowledged the issue and confirmed that it will be addressed in future releases of ACFML. Meanwhile, we recommend continuing to use the existing workaround. Please ensure to back up your database before implementing any changes. You can find the workaround details here: https://wpml.org/errata/advanced-custom-field-related-posts-in-relationship-and-post-object-field-dont-keep-custom-order-in-translation/

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Sebastian Kabis	Hey, seems like this didn't make it into ACFML yet. We are using 2.1.4.2. Can you please check this? The mentioned workaround still works, though. Thanks!

Bigul	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue. I have added a new ticket for this for easy follow-up. The fix for this bug will be included in ACFML 2.2.0. It is currently in the development stage. So please use the workaround suggested in the following errata for the time being (after a full site backup). We will get back to you soon when we have an update from our developers about the release. Please wait. -- Thanks! Bigul
