I need help on how to set my cards so that they come out in exactly the same order everyday and not randomised
I need this as I'm learning a step by step guide sort of thing, so I need it to be in the same order everyday

This isn't how Anki works. Anki works on the principle that each card should be atomic, meaning that it tests one simple thing and it contains within itself all of the necessary context to answer that question.

There's lots of advice for remembering an ordered list within vanilla Anki.

  1. Chunk the list into sections. E.g. first 3 steps, second 3 steps, third 3 steps. Make cards to check your recollection of each chunk, because it's relatively easy to remember Chunk 1 -> Chunk 2 -> Chunk 3 and that Chunk 1 consists of A, B, C in that order, etc. etc.

  2. Make cards that give you the previous step only and ask for the next step.

Card1: A -> ? (B)
Card2: B -> ? (C)
Card3: C -> ? (D)
... etc.

Alternatively, you can use the Cloze Overlapper addon which:

This is an add-on for the spaced-repetition flashcard app Anki. It facilitates memorizing enumerations, lists, or any other type of sequential information by breaking the sequence up into cards where each item serves as the context cue for the next.
