Multi-Row formula should ‘export’ records in the same order as they came in.

Shouldn't have to stick a sort after every Multi-Row formula to reorder the records back to the same way they entered the tool.  Simple

Have you noticed this change with a more recent version of Alteryx? It might be due to the way the AMP engine processes the data in packets. The sort should be maintained if you turn on Compatibility mode in the workflow settings.

Hey @Watermark - do you see this when you're running in compatability mode?

Reason for asking is that AMP is multi-threaded, so it doesn't guarantee sort order (that's the cost of multi-threading since you do things in parallel).

 

Would you see this as a feature request to have an option on the multi-row to say "return in original order"?
