Converting Polygon Coordinates to a Shapefile

I am having difficulty generating polygons with lat and long values.  For some reason, the path for connecting all the points is not outputting correctly.

 

The goal is to generate a shapefile for Tableau to automatically generate the polygons on a map. I have had success with generating polygons in Tableau using an excel file, but this makes it difficult to overlay other data.

 

I have attached my problem Alteryx file, and a photo of what the map is supposed to look like (which uses the exact same input in Tableau).

 

Please help me!

By any chance, you can upload the CSV file as well?

Change the Sequencing Field Option to None should resolve the issue

Thank you Qiu!

 

Another minor issue - if you zoom in, you would see that the borders do not completely line up.  Is there a way to automatically fuse these borders together?

The original input data causes the discrepancy, I think.

It is not perfect solution, but a Buffer Tool somehow makes it less visible.
