    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.

        Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about in which order you’re supposed to “read” the pictures. I only understood it now.

        “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

          That’s how Wikipedia works. Each language is an entirely separate article, maintained by entirely separate people. Not a simple translation of English Wikipedia.
