Event structure and control ordering issue

[plasmageek]

The basic problem: I'm trying to use the CtlRef of an event structure as a Control Index to pick out a specific value from an array. However, the order under the 'Controls' menu for the Event structure appears to be dictating the numbering given by CtlRef. Below, you can see that the order I'd like is:

PLIF station 1...4

PIV Station 1...4

However, it appears to be using the ordering not of the LEFT hand column (image below), but of the MIDDLE column. I can't change this order, and it's giving me the wrong value to go with an array I have. What dictates this order and how can I get around this or fix this?  I'm currently using Labview 2015. Thanks!

I think it depends on tab order; but I don't recommend using that.

I suggest something like this:

Please attach the VI,  code images makes little to no sense.  What is the order of the cluster elements? What's the purpose of all this?

Thanks! Works beautifully and such a simple solution.
