Lists does not sort multiple approvers in proper order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hi

 

I have been using a multi-approval flow for a while, which works fine.  The flow reads the approvers from Lists, which has approvers sorted in the same order as data input for different requests.

 

I have just updated the approvers list, but Lists is not saving the names in the proper order.  Therefore, my approval flow may not work in the desired order.  I have tried to input the approvers in different orders but still cannot save as the correct order.  The Version History is showing a wrong order too.

 

How can I fix it?  Thanks

    Hello @NercyCrab ,

    if you need multiple approvers in a specific order then I'd use separate columns for them. If it's a single column then Lists doesn't care about the order.
