Hi Hopefully an easy question about the Metaflow UI. When you have a for-each task, will the tasks be presented in the UI in the order of the split index? I would just like to be able to find certain tasks in the for-each easily.

you can change the ordering of the UI by sorting tasks asc/desc by when they started, when the finished, or by their execution duration
I don't believe there's a way to view/sort each of the for-each fanout inputs by their value at the moment – which I'd imagine could be tough to present consistently, as
foreach
supports any arbitrary python objects, not only simple scalars

Hey Thanks for the response. I was mainly wondering about the split index, and not the values themselves. The split index is always an integer, so will be orderable

-> You mean in the UI directly?

yep there's a drop down in the UI for ordering
I don't believe they show the index currently, as that'd just be the equivalent to the python list index or whatever iterable is providing the values, which may not often be too useful by itself you can of course access the split values within steps, create logs/`@card`/etc, but I'm not sure about a way to view/sort at the "workflow" level in the UI

ok, thanks
