    Looping Table does not respect the Order By field

    Looping through a table does not respect the Order By field. This can be problematic when trying to get or update info in a certain order

    Hi Mahlon,

    I too am finding this issue problematic. You may not be able to use this workaround, but I have found one that works for me. Instead of doing a Loop Through Table, I made a grid with the filtering, sort and values I want, hid it, and the ran a Loop Through Grid action on that grid, which does respect the grids sort order. Its a pain in the butt as far as additional work, but it did acheive what I needed.
