Loop column names changing (v3.3.5)

jmplym

Using 3.3.5 on a Mac, the column names in my Loop object tables keep changing behind the scenes - e.g., in an IAT task, I have these columns:

correct_response, stimulus, congruency, left1, left2, right1, right2

Occasionally, and without me opening the object, the heads will be alphabetised:

congruency, correct_response, left1, left2, right1, right2, stimulus

...but without the data underneath them being re-ordered too. Needless to say this breaks the experiment.

If I try to edit the names back, they are just replaced with new_column1 etc.

My only solution so far is to delete the table and paste it back in from a spreadsheet.

Hi @jmplym ,

This is a known issue, and a very annoying one indeed. For the moment, we did not pinpoint exactly under which circumstances this behaviour occurs, but thanks for sharing your experience using 3.3.5 on Mac.

Cheers,
