With a lot of research and testing, I believe that it is indeed impossible to do so with an ACF field. you must therefore modify it via a function in functions.php that I wrote and that I share with you

function custom_order_by_acf_field_query($query) {

    if ( !is_admin()) { 
		if(isset($query->query_vars['orderby']) && $query->query_vars['orderby'] == '{{coefficient}}') {
            $query->set('meta_key', 'coefficient');
            $query->set('orderby', 'meta_value_num');
            $query->set('order', 'DESC');
		}

    }
}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'custom_order_by_acf_field_query');
