Order of Operations within a Tool Container

Question

Just starting out with Alteryx and had a simple question (so far lol), but if I have one set of input/output and another set of input/output relationships within one tool container like in the image, how do you make it so that the top/first set executes prior to the bottom set?

Thanks

Shouldn't there be an option to change this. I know Alteryx probably does this because of the XML structrue of the yxmd files but I would be a lot easier to tell Alteryx to start with these inputfiles first and so on.

It is quite annoying for example if you have a Workflow put some stuff in a disabled container create some new logic and the workflow automatically starts in the middle of the workflow because there is an input tool that got number 2.

hopefully @Alteryx can implement this idea that you can just set the load order instead of writing down the tool numbers

Hi@ITG1

Alteryx's order of operations depends on the tool ID. The lower ID will run first.
If you want write to a file before continuing use the “Block Until Done” tool.
