I am preparing a manuscript of a paper using documentclass acmart. I am using bibliographystyle ACM-Reference-Format. But my references are neither printed in the order of citation nor in alphabetical order. Can somebody please guide me to solve this problem. I would like to print the references in the order of citation.
Thanks

Well, achemso is really intended for a particular task! However, there are ways to achieve what you want:
\let\LaTeXbibliographystyle\bibliographystyle
\def\bibliographystyle#1{}
\usepackage{achemso}
\let\bibliographystyle\LaTeXbibliographystyle
\bibliographystyle{ama}
This will save the original definition of \bibliographystyle and restore it after loading achemso.
You need to define the style of your bibliography with \bibliographystyle{style} where style is a natbib style like for instance plainnat. Working example is then:
\documentclass[]{acmart}
\usepackage[]{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\title{...}
\subtitle{...}
\author{...}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
... \cite{asdf} ...
\bibliography{biblo}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\end{document}
Output is then:

First of all: If the document you are writing should be published with ACM it is most likely wise to not make any changes to the ACM bibliography style without consulting with the editors. The document might not be accepted if a modified template is used.
That being said, if you don't intend to publish with ACM:
The
acmartdocumentclass uses thenatbibpackage for reference management by default, which uses theACM-Reference-Format.bstfile for styling. You might want to use an alternative style that has your desired properties, see e.g. this answer.Furthermore, you might want to use the package
biblatexinstead for reference management, which does not require changing theACM-Reference-Format.bstfile. You can use biblatex with acmart by passing the optionnatbib=falseto\documentclass
