footnote ordering in beamer within a single frame using columns

Question

I have a frame with two footnotes. One is in the frame title using \footcite and the second in a column (using \footnotemark). Unfortunately the order is mixed up as the second footnote in the column text gets numbered 1, and the first in the frame title is numbered 2.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Dresden}

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{test1,
title = {My first Title},
author = {T the First.},
year = {2006}
}
@article{test2,
title = {My second Title},
author = {TT the Second.},
year = {2012}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\usepackage[style=verbose,giveninits=true,mincitenames=3,autolang=hyphen,sorting=none,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{My Frame title \footcite{test1}} %<-- should be number 1
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item left first
\item left second\footnotemark %<-- should be number 1
\end{itemize}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item right first
\item right second
\end{itemize}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\footcitetext{test2}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I managed to get the numbering correct using \addtocounter{footnote} but then the footnote order is still wrong (2 above 1).

Problem still persists for `\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document} \begin{frame} \frametitle{My Frame title \footnote{test1}} \footnote{test2} \end{frame} \end{document} ` — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 18 '16 at 15:24

I am a bit confused: the comment in the code tells that the footnotemark in the columns %<-- should be number 1? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 18 '16 at 15:42

Would this work? (based on https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/46562/36296)

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Dresden}

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
    @article{test1,
        title = {My first Title},
        author = {T the First.},
        year = {2006}
    }
    @article{test2,
        title = {My second Title},
        author = {TT the Second.},
        year = {2012}
    }
\end{filecontents*}

\usepackage[style=verbose,giveninits=true,mincitenames=3,autolang=hyphen,sorting=none,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
    \begin{frame}
      \frametitle{My Frame title\setcounter{footnote}{0}\footnotemark}
        \stepcounter{footnote} \footcitetext{test1}
        \begin{columns}
            \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
                \begin{itemize}
                    \item left first
                    \item left second\footnotemark %<-- should be number 1
                \end{itemize}
            \end{column}
            \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
                \begin{itemize}
                    \item right first
                    \item right second
                \end{itemize}
            \end{column}
        \end{columns}
        \footcitetext{test2}
    \end{frame}
\end{document}

This assumes there is only one footnote in the frame body. Better to set the counter to 0 in the frametitle. — Andrew Swann, Aug 18 '16 at 15:37
@AndrewSwann You're right! Thanks for comment, I edited my answer. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 18 '16 at 15:40
This seems to work only with some bib styles… With trad-abbrv, for example, only the number of the publication appears in the footnote. — Rastapopoulos, May 01 '21 at 17:26
To fix the issue I mentioned, just use \footnotetext{\fullcite{}} instead of \footcitetext{}. — Rastapopoulos, May 01 '21 at 17:32
