Order of Quote Lines is different in API than in UI

[EBirdsall]

Sales Rep entered a quote in the UI in this order:

1. Bananas
2. Carrots
3. Apples
4. Oranges

When I pull the Line Items from the API for this Quote

It comes back;

1. Carrots
2. Oranges
3. Bananas
4. Apples

Any idea why the order would be different?

Hey @EBirdsall,

Most database order by their unique ID by default. Is there a specific reason for requiring them to be in the same order as the deal's line items?

Maybe we can help out with a solution for your use case here.

Hope that helps!

We're using the API to send the line items to another software of ours for invoicing.
So it just looks a bit unprofessional when the Customer signs a Quote in Hubspot that has the items in one order, but then gets an Invoice from us with items in a different order.

To give a bit more background... certain line items on our quotes "go together"
The Quote will look like:
Product A
Product A - Add On
Product A - Implementation Fee
Product B
Product C


But then the API pulls the lines in a different order...
Product C
Product A - Add On
Product B
Product A - Implementation Fee
Product A


It just looks a bit all over the place.
I think I'll just take the Array of Line Items and sort them by name- but that still doesn't really solve the issue- just makes things look a bit cleaner.
