On Mojave, when I cmd+C some folders in finder, then paste them into a google sheet (to paste the folder names) it has started pasting them in reverse order.
Well, more accurately, depending on how I selected them. If I drag to select them from the bottom, it reverses the order, but if I select them from the top, or cmd+A it pastes them in the correct order.
I understand having the choice could be helpful to some people... but is there a way to turn it off?
If this is isolated to your third party software "Google Sheets," than I suspect something has changed with that software.
—Search their support pages.
—Update their software or fall back to an older version.
If Google Sheets is residing on a Google server (e.g. Google Drive), or even a local Google Drive application showing you Google sheets as an apparent local paradigm, then that is still a network connection, and not entirely a local Apple clipboard copy/paste activity between to local applications.
I suspect that Google is slurping content from the Apple clipboard, and transmitting it over the network to Google Sheets and not adhering to the original clipboard copy order.
Interesting observation (which may or may not be of interest!):
If you select a batch of files or folders in Finder (Try saying that very quickly!) and drag them into the app (I'm testing it with TextEdit, but I suspect it will apply to any app), the file names appear in the correct order. And also include the path name.
Pasting is reversed on Mojave
