You can open workflows with Notepad or Notepad++ (recommended) and change the language to XML. You can then see the XML file via .txt, and you can even upload it to Alteryx to read. I'm not sure what you mean by sequential because the order is as according to the XML from Alteryx, so be default it's already sequential.

Stemming from that, I actually made an idea post here to read the XML of a workflow for auto-documentation purposes: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Ideas/Documentation-of-Workflows-by-Altery...

 

Please like, share, comment, and support so that we gain more traction for Alteryx to work on it. :)
