Hi all,

Need help with a strange problem. So I have 2 alerts on a button click to check values. ![Untitled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/a/dad88a60ca6e2cb2ab9729f17b131e29c5f21e40.png)

However, the alerts are being shown in reverse order; instead of Blue and then Red, it is showing Red and then Blue. Any ideas anyone as to what I might be doing wrong?

I think these are actually working as expected @thestrengthinstitute

When you click the button the blue alert is shown, then the red alert gets displayed _on top of_ the blue one.

From a UX perspective, you won’t see the blue alert until the red alert is dismissed.

Rather than stacking blocks from top to bottom and having everything run sequentially, you should consider **nesting** your blocks and making use of the `when Show is done` callback:

For example, show the first alert first, and when that’s done, then go and show the relevant second alert:

Hope that helps.
