I have a dataset with a name field and an index field which is in order. I want to output a shapefile that orders the FID numbers like so in order but I can't figure out how to output the file without it randomnly assigning any number as the FID. It needs to be ordered correctly so any help with this one would be appreciated.

FID Id Name

0 1 Northland

1 2 Auckland

A Sorter transformer using ID value just before the output feature type. But on large files this will affect the processing time.
