    Items order is a big issue that is currently not provided by the monday.com API. In short, it is currently not possible to either know or get the order of items in your boards.
    You can vote on this topic here to make monday know that this functionality is really needed

      Thanks for reply @kolaai I have added my votes. Is there any possibility add sequence column and has value like 1,2,3,4 etc in subitem section based on that we can apply same sequence.

      Well, that is tricky.
      Even if you have a column with the items numbered by their position in the board, should you rearrange your items, the column will now be incorrect and you will have to manually update the position numbers again.
      If you can manage to have such a column, then yes, you can query that column and then sort your items based on that column value.
