How to scrape data in order?

[gustaf]

Hello,

I have a problem. I have a list of data I want to scrape. I am scraping the title and also the category that shows under the title. This works good. Everything is scraped, but the problem is that the list shows categories and titles totally random. Meaning that one title may have another titles category, which kind of destroy the whole purpose.. (clarification: lets say I have titles in column A, and categories in column B, the categories is totally random, meaning that titles and columns do not match)

How can I scrape "in order"?

My code looks kind of like this:

{"_id":"test","startUrl":["https://example.com"],"selectors":[{"id":"copytitle,"type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":"a.title","multiple":true,"regex":"","delay":0},{"id":"copycategory","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":"a.category","multiple":false,"regex":"","delay":0}]}
