Edit changes execute out of order

If I make an edit request POST /api/v1/doc/edit with multiple changes, I would expect the changes to execute in the given order.

For example, if I post these changes:

{
  file_id: FILE_ID,
  token: DYNALIST_TOKEN,
  changes: [
    {
      action: 'insert',
      parent_id: ITEM_ID,
      content: 'task 3',
    },
    {
      action: 'insert',
      parent_id: ITEM_ID,
      content: 'task 2',
    },
    {
      action: 'insert',
      parent_id: ITEM_ID,
      content: 'task 1',
    },
  ]
}

I would expect it to insert task 3, then task 2, then task 1. Instead, the inserts seem to complete in random order.

For me, items are inserted in reverse order. Which is counterintuitive, but at least consistent.

@Shida Similar problem if a single request contains multiple indices.
E.g. a request to add n items with indices 0…n-1 does not result in the correct order.

Oh huh. That’s probably something we missed. I’ll look into it as soon as I can!
