Hi Roberto, I already answered this on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62798213/keep-the-order-of-parameters-fixed-in-sympy-lambdify-from-free-symbols/62800716?noredirect=1#comment111075099_62800716
If you are using symarray to generate the symbols then you can get the list of symbols from the symarray directly and then pass those to lambdify. I can't think of any situation where it would be a good idea to use free_symbols to get the arguments to lambdify.
