Unfortunately the ordering of events in banks is non-deterministic. Events typically should be referenced via their [GUIDs and Paths](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/advanced-topics.html#guids-and-paths):

```js
    FMOD.Studio.EventDescription eventDescription;
    FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.StudioSystem.getEvent("event:/pistol", out eventDescription);

    FMOD.Studio.EventInstance eventInstance;
    eventDescription.createInstance(out eventInstance);

    eventInstance.start();
    eventInstance.release();

```

Is there any particular reason you need the ordering of events to be preserved?

If you want to order all of the events, perhaps you could prefix each event name with a number such as “1 Pistol”, “2 Cat”, “3 Potato” and sort them alphabetically in code:

```ruby
FMOD.Studio.Bank bank;
FMOD.Studio.EventDescription[] descriptions;

RuntimeManager.StudioSystem.getBank("mybank", out bank);
var result = bank.getEventList(out descriptions);

Array.Sort(descriptions, (a1, a2) => {
   a1.getPath(out o1);
   a2.getPath(out o2);
   return String.Compare(o1, o2);
});

```
