Correct number order in dictionary

Hello, I’m getting some data from firebase but the numerical order is not correct.

I’m getting the order n1, n10, n11, n2, n3, n4…
I would like to arrange n1, n2, n3, n4, n5…

Dictionaries (in general) are designed for storing key/value mappings, they don’t have an “order”, so even if you try to order keys, when you add a new key to the dictionary later, there is no guarantee that the key/value will be added to last, it is totally up to App Inventor. (Not sure how App Inventor handles dictionaries, but still, don’t rely on order)

If you want to rely on order, consider using a list instead, which is guaranteed that its order won’t alter because it is indexed on position.

Well, you can order the keys only, but not sure what you want to achieve.

unfortunately it didn’t work

I’m doing it as follows

1-here I get the click id and save it again in firebase.

2-here I get the values ​​and add them to a list, but since it comes in the wrong order, it’s always in the wrong order when I put it in the view.

3-here are the values ​​corresponding to the list in the wrong order.

4- structure on fb
Screenshot_5

everything is working fine, except for separating the values ​​in the correct order.
I will be grateful for any help
