context menu, copy
<F12> to open HTML pane ( if not open)
context menu, paste

Result: items are inverted from the order in the grid

I guess you're just copying one or a few field (ie : not full items, using XML) ?
 
In any case, IQ normally copies and pastes in the order of selection. So it's not a bug.
 
If you want your selection to be pasted from top to bottom, that's how you need to make your selection.... It has some advantages and disadvantages I guess. Personally I like it, even if it's a bit unusual... It allows to predetermine in which order items will be pasted.
 
Pierre : maybe it could be an option -- "Paste respects the order of selection" : YES/NO
 
What do others think ?

This is similar to the way that exporting items to Webpage show the items in order of selection
 
I found that very confusing initially but grew to like it (havent used that feature in a while now though)
 
I think as an option in this case would be helpful

I think it's weird but an option is better than the way it is.
