Order of columns in loops

Hi all,

In the last version, I found that sometimes OS is reordering the columns inside a loop by alphabetical order. This can be problematic as I have my material in Excel in a certain order and this could generate errors if the order of columns is not the same in Excel and OS...

Congratulations for the new features such as the new variable management and the pseudorandomization : these are really helpful !

Best regards,

    Thank you Roelof but my problem is not for the log file but inside the OS interface...

    This was not my original columns order but OS reordered them...
    Here was my original order

  • Right, I see, and indeed opensesame seems to reorder them alphabetically, I am guessing that it will take some intricate changes to the program in order for it to maintain the original structure. Perhaps it could work by renaming the variables in a such a way that the alphabetical order in open sesame corresponds to the order in the excel file? (e.g. A_var1, B_col2, C_something_else, etc)

  • Hi guys,

    Thanks for flagging this. This is indeed pretty annoying. Would you mind testing out the prerelease of 3.1.8 (currently 3.1.8a1)? This should preserve the order of columns in the loop table. But there have been a few updates to the underlying datamatrix library, so it needs a thorough test.

    Cheers,
    Sebastiaan

  • Hi Sebastiaan,

    That'd be fun to have a look at, and just out of curiosity; what was the fix for the order of the column preservation?

  • Essentially, DataMatrix, which is the data-structure used by the loop, by default returns a sorted view of columns, because that is convenient when working with the data programmatically (otherwise you'll never find the column you're looking for if you print out a list of all column names). But in the context of a spreadsheet that's of course not very sensible. So now sorting is disabled!

  • Hi Sebastiaan,

    So I guess this will be implemented in the next version.
    Is there anyway to disable it in 3.1.17 ?

    Best regards

  • Hi Boris,

    No, you really need to update OpenSesame in its entirety. But I think you can use the 3.1.8 prerelease without too much worry!

    Cheers,

  • Hi Sebastiaan,

    I've had this issue (unasked for alphabetical ordering of column names in loop table) using version 3.2.8. I've since updated to 3.3.1, so hopefully that took care of it, but just posting here in case you weren't aware.

    Am otherwise thrilled with the OS/JATOS infrastructure, so thank you for what you do!

  • Hi, I am also experiencing this issue again. It seems to happen specifically when I try to use undo (ctrl z). @sebastiaan , do you think the issue has the same source as before?

  • @JelleStudentRug I see what you mean, yes. I'm not sure whether this has the same origin as before, but I'll look into it and file an issue for it. Thanks!
