Zapier formatter: split text in random order


No matter what I do, I cannot get the Output Items to stay in order from 1 to 60. I even tried having every item with the number 1. 2. 3. and so forth, in front of the line item, but the Output items still come out in a very strange order. 

 

Any Ideas?

Hi @Benyy2001 

What are you trying to do after the Formatter step with each individual output item?

I would like the Output Items to be in order ever time, because I am having everything transfered to a Google Sheet. 

 

When the Formatter puts things in random order, the spreadsheet will be off.

For us to have more info, post screenshots with how your GSheet Zap steps are configured in EDIT mode.

With the Formatter outputting individual variables, you still have to map each variable individually.

Output 1 will always be output 1 regardless of how the Formatter step returns the order of those variables.

So there is no way to have the Outputs be in order after the Formatter Step?

Hi @Benyy2001,

The output of the formatter should be in order as far as I know. Could you please send a screenshot of the “Configure” section of your formatter step. This will help us look closer at the issue.

Thanks!
