The output (features extracted and values) come in a random order every time I execute (in this [Post](https://discourse.slicer.org/u/machadol)). It use to work well but I do not know what happened that it is now random.  
Any thoughts?

PyRadiomics features are returned as a Python dictionary, which is an unordered set. The easiest way to combine features would be to use the pandas package.

Well, I do not know what I did, except running the script in another computer, But it worked well. Features were printed in order. Although I do recognize that **THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE for PyRadiomics**. Another friend reported the same.

I see. I guess that is an **issue**. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Some friends reported the same.
