When multiple Action cards are executed in a flow, they are executed async, which means that you cannot have control of the order they are executed without specifying a delay in seconds.  
It would help if you could specify if a card should run synchronically and await execution to finish before starting the next action card.  
Then you would be able to specify run order without seconds of delay.  
In my understanding this can be be done with HOOP, but it would be more user friendly to have this built in.
