Ability to reorder global elements

[StrangeTech]

The new global elements UI is fantastic and so much more flexible and full featured.

One thing missing is the ability to reorder or sort elements within their lists.

I am thinking of this both for the visual aspect and also for how they are output in the CSS.

This will really round out the usability of the UI.

Thanks!

This will also implicitly resolve this older request:

Reorder global typography presets

When adding typography presets to the global styles, sometimes requirements change midway through development or new sizes / styles are added if a designer gets new requirements from the business. Currently there is no way to insert into a specific position, so it will be great to be able to reorder them to keep them better organised. [Screenshot 2023-03-28 at 23.15.39] Thank you!

+1 for all applicable areas in the UI.
I hope this gets finally addressed at some point.

Might be a good timing to get things rolling, as it’s quite important for Global Elements.

Hello @StrangeTech,

I’m sorry I missed this if you proposed it previously… Seems like a basic necessity with our new setup!

Re-ordering should automatically change the order in the output, so this shouldn’t be too much of an ordeal, hopefully we can see it in the next week.

Absolutely, with the increasing consistency of the new UI, hopefully this will be a lot easier now.

Here are some other reordering feature requests:

Reorder relative styles

When adding a larger set of relative styles, it will be beneficial to be able to reorder them to make it easier to keep them organised. This prevents the need for scrolling through the list searching and also allows you to group related ones together. Thanks for your consideration.

Drag and Drop to reorder filters

The order in which filters are applied affects the final result. That’s why it is necessary to add the ‘Drag and Drop’ functionality to manually reorder filters.

Ability to re-order parts within a fragment

The new Themer UI has some solid improvements. One thing that will save valuable seconds when adding new features to an existing website is to be able to reorder parts within a fragment (retaining their associated visibility conditions). As of 1.2.9.5.2, you can tap on a part to change it to a different part - an excellent feature in itself, however, if you have visibility conditions associated with that part, then this doesn’t allow you to quickly swap the order, because the visibility condit…

Ability to reorder and use and/or for each visibility condition

Currently we can specify either AND or OR for all inclusion and exclusion rules independently. This is fine for many cases but some logic requires more granular control. One example is, if you want to include all singular pages and then exclude specific pages, this works well with one “Show If” rule and one “Don’t Show If” rule. If you then then add other “Don’t Show If” rules that have different AND/OR requirements (such as for the coming soon / maintenance functionality), it becomes impossib…

Amazing, thank you @Louis
