Which implements first: a column actions or "Move" automations?
I have a sheet that collects content from a Form and includes some auto-filled columns and column formulas, but also automations to Move rows depending on the contents of other columns. I'm wondering if Smartsheet will complete the column actions and formulas before completing the Move automation, or if the Move automation will take the data out before the column actions and formulas have an opportunity to run. If the latter, is does anyone know of a good workaround to complete the Move only after the formulas and values have filled in?

Its more like a race. They all trigger at the same time. Your best bet is to include conditions in the Move Row automation that say to only move rows where those calculated fields are not blank.
