 *
 * - A dynamic gallery passes `orderby/order` to the REST API in the editor (the
 *   `/wp/v2/media` collection params; see `dynamic-source.js`) and to a
 *   `WP_Query` on the front end (see `index.php`). Either way the database
 *   orders by post date or post title.
 * - A static gallery orders its inner image blocks client-side from the same
 *   attachment fields (see `order-images.js`). Dates compare the same way.
 *   Titles use a natural, case-insensitive compare, so `IMG_2` sorts before
 *   `IMG_10` where the database would put it after. The two title orders can
 *   therefore differ for numbered titles.
 *
 * `menu_order` is deliberately omitted — it isn't a valid REST `orderby`
 * value, so the editor preview couldn't reproduce it (see `dynamic-source.js`).
