Hi ,
It seems that the Tree Branch component always sort the output list. I think it is of bug.See attached picture and gh files. And is there anyway to avoid it rightnow?

No one？
Once the Tree Branch component re-sort everything, it breaks the whole logic ! This bug is serious！I don’t know what to do next.what a pity!
I tried this,but can not get what I wanted. the sequence became chaos again. What can I do next?

I don’t quite understand why you want your paths to be non sorted. As far as I know the paths are always sorted. And, you have the paths that you want already.
This can be critical for some operations. If I didn’t want to have it sorted I’d ignore sorting.
I’m actually surprised it acts this way.

A bug would be a regression or maladaptive behavior, what you are seeing is the expected behavior.
Maintaining unordered trees would be a nightmare.

I absolutly agree with you! Sort is easy if I want it by using the sort component, but you(gh) should do this job automatcally !!
On the other hand I am trying to built some example in my head to illustrate the necessity and nothing comes to me. Maybe you can help.
I am trying to achieve this,but it is possible within GH.

In fact, what I want like this:
But I can’t find a way for the automatcally-sorting behavior. Any help please?
By the way,these path index ({3},{10},{8})are meaningful,they are generated from the beginning and i can’t modify it manually ,otherwise the whole logic would be broken.
If that’s the case renumber the other end {1;2;3}
Thanks for the solution.
But I do not like the solution for it is not graceful. And GH should be graceful .
But how to use your solution within my gh file?
What I can do just like picture below and i cannot go futher .Any help?

I think you just need RenumberPaths.
Anyway I added a C# to append paths similar to EntWine

Thanks.
I just notice the option and it works.
It is still a pity that he original path index disappears.
these path index mean something to make the file more readable for me.
So I wish the Tree Branch component would add one more option,like this:
Option 1: Maintain means maintain the path order and the index number.
Option 2:Renumber means renumber the index
Option 3:Sort means sort the index.
Rigthnow Maintain in fact is sort and you can’t maintain the path order and the index number directly.
Thanks. It is instructive.
