If I properly understand the issue, steps are ordering due to their's usage popularity, not due to order they in the feature file.

Would it be possible to make the order match the feature file? Otherwise it is not very useful for whoever runs the test or verifies the results. Eclipse plugin sorts steps according to the feature file steps order.

Could you please send screenshot of the issue?

Thanks, Andrei.

Hi!

Looks like that, unfortunately, this tab is out of the extension responsibility. Extension is working with 'edit' part of the VSCode - steps hishlight, checking for errors, etc.

[anazar2001]

Ok. Is there some ordering of the steps at the moment at all? Can we introduce some natural ordering instead of relative statement weight which would be auto incremented number (not available on UI but used to sort steps)?

[alexkrechik]

May be some other type of steps suggestion ordering (like not use steps usage popularity) could be introduced in the future as an optional param (due to current sorting way is more useful for the most cases).

[anazar2001]

I think steps suggestion ordering and the ordering of steps displayed in the Testing tab should be separate. I understand the current logic behind suggestions but it is not the same as the order of steps execution. Currently it is very difficult to understand where in the sequence your step failed.

Is there a way to pass steps to Testing tab in the same order steps have been executed. The execution order is correct. There is just a display issue.

Also, the ordering of scenarios seems to be correct. Is there any difference between scenarios and steps?
