[Resolved] Ordering Repeatable Field Groups by same order as when editing the post

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

Problem:
How can I order the View's output so to show my Repeatable Field Groups in the Front end just like I order the single items in the backend when editing the post?

Solution:
You need to select to order by the Custom field "toolset-post-sortorder" in the view where you show the Repeatable Field

I am trying to:
My repeatable group content to be ordered as it shows in the backend WordPress side on the front end of the site. I have selected Ordering option to be "Order by Menu Order" but it doesn't seem to be applying.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

I expected to see:
978-1-77385-152-5 (Hardback)
978-1-77385-123-5 (Institutional PDF)
978-1-77385-125-9 (mobi)
978-1-77385-124-2 (ePub)
978-1-77385-121-1 (Paperback)

Instead, I got:
978-1-77385-121-1 (Paperback)
978-1-77385-152-5 (Hardback)
978-1-77385-123-5 (Institutional PDF)
978-1-77385-124-2 (ePub)

You need to select to order by the Custom field "toolset-post-sortorder", as explained here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/repeating-field-group-entries-in-menu-order/

The order argument you use now is for the WordPress feature "menu order" position.
