PF1 Full Attack Resolution Order
When performing a full attack in the PF1 ruleset, the attacks are displayed in a random order in the chat window. IE: Sometimes you'll have attack #3 resolve first, or attack #2, etc.
I've run into an issue with this and effects that trigger a certain number of times in a round; they will trigger off of whichever attack resolved first, and not after the first attack that was made.
For example, I have some AC buffs that should trigger the first time I'm attacked in a round, and should go against their highest iterative attack as a result. Instead, it might be against attack #2 or #3 depending on how the rolls seem to be reported.

All of the attacks are done at once by default; so they can resolve at different times as the dice settle.
If you need a specific ordering, it is best to roll each attack individually.

While I now understand why it happens, I still don't feel like this is working as intended when it comes to the interactions with the effects system. Is this something that you would consider resolving?

It can't be resolved with the existing system; because the resolution order can not be fixed without rebuilding the entire system to only chain multiple rolls, not roll concurrently.
Chained rolls would take a significant amount of time to resolve (imagine flurry of blows of 5 to 6 attacks with everything waiting for all the dice to resolve one after another).
