Hi, I have a front-end upload page for each user to upload their images. I’d like to output them in a view using another custom post type plugin. I however need to know what meta field can I use to maintain the same sorting the user did when uploading.

Thanks.

If you’re still looking for information on this.

ACF stores the gallery field as an array (serialized data) of the image IDs.
The order of the values in the array is the order that the images are sorted.
The postmeta meta_key is == to the field name.
