Hi David, That confirms what I was starting to think; the filters in question are just performing simple set fields, and performing similar actions. And as we've had a server migration, they've probably changed their sequence ..... Regards

However, if two objects have the same execution order, my observations are as follows: On the server that the workflow was developed on, the order will be in the same order that they were created - the older one first. If the workflow is moved to a second server and imported there, the order will be alphabetical (which presumably is the order that they are imported in). This means that the execution order might be different on two servers which can have unexpected results. Finally, with filters you need to bear in mind filter phasing - the above comments only apply to actions executed in the same filter phase.
