Excel export doesn't keep the same order for items

Hi,
I have a board with multiple items that I placed in order of priority on Tape. When I export all data (with the 2 options “Everything” selected), my Excel sheet doesn’t keep the same order. At first glance, it seems a random order. Is there something I should do in another manner?

Thanks

Have you tried creating a view with the correct order, selecting the view, and selecting Included date: Current view in the export selection?

Hi @edg,

many thanks for the report!
How many columns do you have in your board view? Since the sorting in the board view is user-centred, each card needs a unique position - with one column the order should be exactly right. If there are several, it will be tricky to understand which order should be used in a list. If you export column by column it should work, you can easily achieve this with a filter.

Best regards
