Hi Philippe! No worries! I guess we have to live with not everyone using the same tone in a society like this. glinius helped me with what was wrong at least, even though it is a little tricky to solve my use case under the existing circumstances. I have a workaround at least.
I wouldn't call myself a beginner, but there is certainly a lot left to learn. Jmeter is in many ways a very powerful tool, but the frustration sometimes get rather big since there seems to be so many special cases. To take a bigger grip on the intuitivity issue would probably be a large project, but would mean an improvement I believe. In my case I did try properties instead of variables, but it didn't make any difference. Of course it is possible that I made some additional mistake...

I guess his contributions help users, but sometimes the tone used is not the most appropriate. Now, regarding the order of execution, I was not working on the project when it was decided, but from my experience and understanding, the order is due to the fact that in Configuration elements, we usually want to setup something before executing any sampler, that's why the order in Plan does not apply and we rely on scope instead as explained in reference documentation - https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#config_elements Scoping concept is another very important concept to understand besides the order: - https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/test_plan.html#scoping_rules I agree it is not very intuitive for beginners but it has pro/cons. Regarding your case, having this in mind, you should rely on Properties instead of Variables for CSV Data Set filename configuration, see this for Vars vs Properties - https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html I hope this helps.
