Hi All,
We were showing all the records preceding with number. The issue is that when we got the number 10 record, it started showing below number 1 (Attached screenshot). can anyone guide how can I bring it in order after number 9?
Thanks

Thanks Jims but I did not want to touch the existing Actions as those are in production already.

You can accomplish this by updating the action 'Display Labels' for 1-9, add a space at the very beginning of the label:
[space]1 - xxx
[space]2 - yyy
10 - zzz
etc

@rishub Instead of changing the names of the process models, did you thought of changing the names of the Actions (name can be changed in the application) in the Application? This way you don't need to update the actual process model objects.
To the best of my knowledge, suggestion made by @jims is the only way to solve it. There has been a similar issue (off-course it's related to Related Actions and it needs a change in the name of Process Model) in the forum posted long back and the same suggestion (that is, 01, 02 etc.) has been made.

You can do some magic using unicode characters. For example the "ZERO WIDTH SPACE". It is not filtered in Appian and you can use it to prefix your action names. As it is of type punctuation its order is before normal characters. Just add a number of these characters and you can sort to whatever you prefer.
Now the question is, how to type an invisible character. There is a website for that:

You might want to consider changing the numbering scheme as well, if you want to take control of the order in the long run.
Back in the old days of BASIC (programming language), programmers have to specify a line number for each line of code. We usually use 10, 20, 30, and so on. So that we can insert additional line between 10 and 20, (i.e. 15) without re-numbering all lines of code.
You might have similar need; While you want to keep the same number for the same action, but you might have a need to put more frequently used actions closer to the top of the list.
