Order of requests inside folders changes after collection merge

[lhyla]

To Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a 'base' collection with some requests (I had ~180 requests)
2. Fork the base collection
3. Do some changes on fork
4. Merge the fork into base collection
5. Check the order of requests inside folders

I expected that order of requests inside a specific folder will not change after merge (there were any changes in orders of requests in changes). But the order of some requests has been changed randomly (only in the context of a single folder. Order of folders left ok).

It`s problematic when the order of requests make difference in the tests results.
Postman desktop version: v6.7.1
OS: Windows 10 (but merge has been done using postman web app)

Additional info:
There is a way to fix the issue by merging the fork 2 times. But after 1 merge you mustn`t remove your collection. After the second merge of the same fork to the base collection, the order issue is fixed.

The problem exists also with pull, but I was not able to do pull twice. So after first pull, the requests have been re-ordered, but the second pull is not possible. So finally the merge to the base collection would change the order permanently.

@Ghusar Which version is the fix on? Or is this in Postman Canary?

The fix has been pushed and should be fixed for all existing clients. Closing the issue for now, feel free to reopen it if it is not.

We are experiencing exactly this issue with Postman v7.0.7 when working with different workspaces.

Order changes when merging fork back to master. Newly added tests don't keep their order but end up at the end of the folder.

Is this still an issue for folks using the latest version?

[mccannt]

This should now be resolved. Closing this out as there are no current issues confirmed.
Please reopen if this is still an issue for any users with the latest version of the app.

Hello,

I have Postman v7.35.0.
I still see the issue where at random the order of the requests change drastically.
Please re-open the issue.

Thank you!

[DannyDainton]

We have this open issue that we're tracking from the recent 7.35.0 version.
