I found a similar open issue regarding the extraction order of paragraphs and tables from DOCX files. The problem arises because the code processes paragraphs and tables separately, which disrupts their original order. The suggested solution is to traverse the elements in the exact order they appear in the document, processing each paragraph and table as encountered. This approach ensures the extracted content retains the original sequence of the document ^[1].

Additionally, the WordExtractor class in the Dify platform's codebase provides a method to maintain the order by iterating over the document's elements and processing them based on their type (paragraph or table) ^[2][3].
