Hi

I found a strange behavior with lists. When I want to save the list {3,1,8}, it saves the 8 at the first entry. Only when I add the integers 7 and 9, the 8 is placed correctly. (See the attached picture)

Can anyone help me understand what is going on here?

Thanks in advance!

You're using a set (with {}), not a list (with []).

I'd give you a working example, but since you posted a picture I can't copy, paste, and edit your example. In the future, please post text, not pictures.
