Hello Everyone,
Is there a way to use flat sequence from top to bottom?
Instead of left to right?
I'm used to seeing execution flow from top to bottom.
Br,

No.
That would be awkward because in LabVIEW you should be used to seeing execution flow from left to right since that is how the inputs and outputs of subVI's and functions are designed.
(Anything from top to bottom would require excessive wire bends and backwards wires.)

True. Thanks.

Despite massive efforts to make LabVIEW great again, this idea got summarily declined, else you could still vote for it 😄

Try to wean yourself off of sequence structures in general. They should not be a regular feature in your code. They should only be used when no other method of enforcing dataflow is available.
It's akin to manually telling your CPU which thread to process next; it's much better at determining that than you are. Usually. 😉
