i think thunkable is not working synchronous. so i used to put ‘wait’ code with like 1 sec.  
but for sure, is there any solution for excute all the blocks in order?

repeat until (to some variable like only change at the end of function) perhaps?

But personally I do not like to use recursive loops and it gets confusing especially if your are grabbing info from airtable or web API. Using the wait block is also not efficient. So, I usually will use the forever loop after the Asynchronous block with a condition to break out when the asynchronous process is completed:

it looks convinient too! i think it is same as “Repeat Until”

maybe i will mix timer and this.
