Repeater sub-field order not updating in Gutenberg

I am using ACF Pro 5.8.0-beta3 and registered a custom block using acf_register_block(). I’ve created a repeater field with a Post Object sub-field and assigned it to the custom block. Everything shows up as expected on the front-end and back-end when using the custom block in a Page/Post.

However, I’m noticing an issue when I have the maximum rows set to “3” and the minimum rows set to “3”. If I add the custom block to a Page and choose my desired Posts in the repeater, I am not able to change the order of the rows and have that change save properly; instead the original order that I selected the Posts is retained. If I edit the repeater field and set the minimum rows to “0” then I can change the order and save it just fine.

Is this something that y’all can reproduce on your end?

Cheers,
Kory

I’m seeing this same behavior. But it doesn’t work even after I remove the minimum rows requirement.

EDIT: After I remove the minimum rows requirement, I can rearrange the blocks with the exception of the first block. It always remains first.

Here’s what the POST to admin_ajax.php looks like. For some reason, the first item has a [0] array key but the subsequent items appear to have hashed keys.

Newly released beta4 appears to fix this so far.
