Yes that's what I see in general format. You ran it 3x in on second so I can't very we're seeing the same thing. But the order becomes

1
5
4
3
2

That is, 2 is appended as expected, but then 3 is inserted after 1 but before 2, 4 is after 1 but before 3, etc.

Again, all your strings appear the same so I can' verify order. I don't mind multiple :results: :end: drawers, I just want the order to be

1
2
3
4
5

I have a beancount (plain text accounting) file that is an Org file. Beancount parsing of that file ignores lines that start with "*" or "#", so I can organize finances by heading. The beancount parser fails on lines that begin with ":"

Under a given set of headings, e.g.,

* Finances
** Assets
*** Bank Foo
**** Checking

I parse the bank data (code defined elsewhere via library-of-babel) and convert to Beancount syntax with:

#+CALL: bank2bc()

I'd like to evaluate (C-c C-c) that CALL when I get a new statement each month, and have results appended, not prepended.

For accounts with a lot of transactions, I add a new  heading, and then this issue goes away.

***** 2024-01

But for accounts with few transactions, I'd like to break it by year not month, and have transactions appear in chronological order.


  -k.
