Ordered herringbone patterns with deterministic long and short wavelengths are created using a sequential wrinkling strategy (SWS). Patterns with a prescribed zig‐zag turning angle less than 90° are obtained upon sequential wrinkling of non‐equi‐biaxial prestrain for the first time. SWS provides a new method for measuring thin‐film mechanical properties simply through the wrinkling metrology without measurement of film thickness.
