Zone swaps token order around

Hi,

I Have a simple example model in which 10 tokens enter a zone (at the same moment). The first token has a small delay before going to the exit zone activity. All other tokens can continue directly.

When I print the numbers of the tokens after the exit zone I can see token 10 left the zone first, before token 9, ect. Why is this happening? Using the Queue strategy on the zone does not work. Note that the zone has a max capacity of 1.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

Hello @Patrick Zweekhorst,

Using a delay of 0 after the decision's block you can solve your problem.

I hope this help you.

Hi @José Antonio MAD

That indeed works. It still feels a bit strange, but I guess that is sometimes the case with a delay 0 activity.
