Description
**Describe the bug**
If the tiles for animation in a tiles XML are in numerical order, the tiles in the tileset preview may render out of order. However, they behave correctly in maps. (This came about because we had an external tool producing XML for complex animations, and copied two separate animations into the same file.)
**To Reproduce**
1. Swap the order of two .... sequences in a tsx file.
**Expected behavior**
Tiles display in normal, ascending order.
**Media**
**Specifications:**
OS: MacOS 12
Tiled Version: 1.9.2

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the tileset preview using a TSX file with two swapped tile-animation sequences, then trace how the preview orders animated tiles. The change is done when the preview displays tiles in ascending numerical order while map behavior remains unchanged.
