Clockwise order isn't the same as reading order. The correct order is:

  1. The top left image (because it says "from top left")
  2. The top right image
  3. The bottom right image
  4. The bottom left corner

It helps if you imagine a circle around the images with arrows pointing in clockwise direction, like this:

Drawing of 4 squares in a 2x2 grid, which represent the pictures. A circle with arrows pointing in a clockwise direction surrounds the squares. The squares are numbered according to the order described above.

(EDIT: I made a correction to the drawing. I put the wrong order in the original drawing.)

They could have just put the images in reading order though, especially when there are only 4 of them. It would be way less confusing :/

    Yes, I know. That's what my comment is criticising.

    "Clockwise" is universally known by all cultures, reading order varies.

    So when translating to a different language, you can't just say reading order, you have to change the article instead of just translating
