[SOLVED] CLI deploy = mess in the attribs

Hi, trying to sort the attribs on a freshly created collection, I used the CLI appwrite deploy collection command but I ended with a new collection much more messy than what I created at first! I expected the attributes to be sorted as they appear in my appwrite.json file. Is there a way to achieve this? Thx.

You'll have to write a script using a server SDK

Or fork the CLI lol

You might also want to add a 👍 to this issue: https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-for-cli/issues/79

The reason why is all the attributes are created at once: https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-for-cli/blob/ae7f9fecbbe5cc0cc702e878fd48cc8559fa18b2/lib/commands/deploy.js#L640 and so when they actually get created or finish creating is "random"

OK thx, I suspected something with the asynchronous way of creating the attribs... 🙂 Well, I think I will stick with the randomness of my initial attribs as they are less random than what I ended up! 🙂

I submitted a PR with a --preserve option for deploy collection.
