Lists does not sort multiple approvers in proper order

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.
