When distributing nummerous shapes vertically to center, I sporadically get different results where the layers are distributed in the wrong order. They are ordered correctly in the layers panel, but that doesn't seem to mater. Any solution for this?

Hi Anshul
I tried your aproach as you can see on image 1, which gave the result on image 2. This is not the result I am going for. What I wan't and what it should do by clicking the vertical distribute centre is the result on image 3 (manually made). But what i get is random distribution as shown in image 4 and 5 (random in the sence that i get the same result every time, but if i close the file and open it again, I will get another result eg. 4 and 5).
Best regards
Michael

The Vertical Distrubute Center command should not change the order of the layers in the Layers panel, nor should it change the position of the objects on the artborad, other than to distribute them vertically.
If that is not working correctly, you could try resetting preferences.

If you Align to Key Object, as Anshul suggests, you'll need to select all the objects, then click once on the object that you want as the key object. All the objects should still be selected and the key object should get a heavier line around it. The key object is the one that won't change position.

Thanks for trying, @Mychri. I would like to know if you have tried resetting preferences as suggested by @barbara_a. If that doesn't help, try moving the layers to a new document or create a rectangle and put all the layers you want to distribute under that rectangle and try distributing under it. If this doesn't help either, would you mind sharing the download link to the file with us here or via DM with me? We'll check at our end and share our observations with you.
We'll be looking forward to your response.
