Enum list order per user selection order

[AleRdzMx]

Hi, I set up a column in my app to be a enumlist type, but I need the output list order just like the user selects the values from the dropdown instead of being sorted per the enumlist data order.

I just read this old post below and it looks it might be a problem with the account. Is this a setting I just need to correct somewhere or Do I need to ask appsheet administrators for support?

Unfortunately to have the order in a way you selected was coming from a quite old version.

Just out of curiosity, I'd be interested in what particular use case you need the output list to be in the order of how the user selects the values from the dropdown list.

The column stores the the list of colors of the pieces a product is made from. User would pick the colors based on the order he would like them to be placed in the product. 

The number of pieces is not fixed so I didn't create specific columns in the table for all options, I figured i'd be best to have a single column where I can store the list and control the number of pieces dynamically based on the product ID, so the user will only be allowed to pick the number of colors in relation on how many pieces the product is made from. 

However, now my problem is that no matter user selects on the order they want, the list outputs in the enum list source order 😞

Ich würde also einfach eine neue Spalte [Sequenz] erstellen, "ENUM" mit den Sequenznummern 1,2,3 usw. eingeben und diese entsprechend im Bestellformular über linktoview-Aktionen auswählen.
