Absolutely. Your answer was spot on. The issue is the ordering of the
goroutines' execution, not the behaviour of channels. I just wanted to
clarify the comment that responsed to that.

And really I wasn't even commenting on the nature of the channel. Only the
scheduling of the goroutines. Buffered or not, they would still be random
order right?

They can be; buffered channels are queues.

When you start a bunch of goroutines in a loop, there is no guarantee as to 
what order the scheduler will start each one. 
Thus you will see them delivered in different orders on each run. You have 
to decide on some form of synchronization. Maybe you choose to run a single 
goroutine worker that will loop over the source slice, and push the values 
into the channel in order. Or maybe you will keep using many goroutines but 
collect them all in the receiver, sort them after the last value is 
received, and then print them out. Or, maybe your receiver will have some 
kind of buffering where it collects values and only prints them when it has 
the next one in sequence.
