With "needs: jobX", jobX is running at the end #77

New Issue

Hey!

I have something like this:

jobs:
  prepare:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Prepare and Upgrade Image
        ...

  generate_ssl:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: prepare
    strategy:
      matrix:
        stage:
          - web1.com
          - web2.com
          - web3.com
    steps:
      - name: Generate SSL
        ...

However, it appears that prepare is always running last, instead of first:

I monitored the jobs running, and prepare definitely ran last.

Without needs: prepare, the same happened too.
I also tried putting "prepare" at the bottom rather than above "generate_ssl" (in case Gitea Actions somehow were just reversing the order of the jobs), and the exact same happens, with the same order as above.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong here?

Thank you very much!

Alright... looks like the jobs are simply being sorted alphabetically, and definitely, the needs isn't working.

It shouldn't be. I'll try to fix it later.
