Custom font letters not in right order

[123wolfyking (Wolfy)]

I’m trying to make a VHS like game with a timer that shows how long you have been recording/playing the game, but the numbers aren’t in order. I have placed a picture of how it looks like and how it should look like: (the timer on them both is at 3 seconds btw)

How it looks like:

How it should look like:

Code:

wait(4.75)
function toHMS(seconds)
	return string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i", seconds/60^2, seconds/60%60, seconds%60)
end

function updatetext(updateto,text)
	for i_,v in pairs(text:GetChildren()) do
		if v then
			if not v:IsA("UIListLayout") then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end
	for count = 1, updateto:len() do
		local l = script:FindFirstChild(text.Name):FindFirstChild(updateto:sub(count, count)):Clone()
		l.Parent = text
	end	
end

local time = 0
local string

while wait(1) do
	string = toHMS(time)
	updatetext(string,script.Parent.Text)
	updatetext(string,script.Parent.Shadow)
	time += 1
end

Explorer if yall need that: (the same things in the text folder are in the shadow folder)

try changing the LayoutOrder property using your script like this:

wait(4.75)
function toHMS(seconds)
	return string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i", seconds/60^2, seconds/60%60, seconds%60)
end

function updatetext(updateto,text)
	for i_,v in pairs(text:GetChildren()) do
		if v then
			if not v:IsA("UIListLayout") then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end
	for count = 1, updateto:len() do
		local l = script:FindFirstChild(text.Name):FindFirstChild(updateto:sub(count, count)):Clone()
		l.LayoutOrder = count
		l.Parent = text
	end	
end

local time = 0
local string

while wait(1) do
	string = toHMS(time)
	updatetext(string,script.Parent.Text)
	updatetext(string,script.Parent.Shadow)
	time += 1
end

Oh wow that worked! Gosh why does one singular line of code solve my problem most of the time.
