presentation.xml
A core XML part within the PPTX package that defines the authoritative presentation order of slides through the sldIdLst list using relationship IDs, serving as the source of truth for parsing slide order.

When parsing a container format, you should first find the manifest file that defines the authoritative ordering (such as presentation.xml or content.opf) before starting the conversion.
PowerPoint stores the custom show order in <p:sldIdLst> in presentation.xml, and that order may differ from the physical numbering order of the slides.
The r:id attribute of the <p:sldId> entries listed by the <p:sldIdLst> element in ppt/presentation.xml points to specific slides in the ppt/slides/_rels/ relationship file, and this list defines the actual show order.
