Viewing Arrange > Bring To front

Arrange > Bring To front



User: Cornelis V. 2 years ago
In a Responsive Row with several stacked full width Text Sections you could arrange the top one (in the attached example My Header 4) straight to the bottom without dragging, by making use of a 'right mouse button click' (or from the main menu Arrange) and choose Bring to Front.
On my website I have many pages with 100 embedded Text Sections with full width in one Response Row. Dragging around to change the order, especially from the top to the bottom, is not user friendly.

Anyhow these 'Arrange' options always used to work in prior versions. This functionality stopped working in version 3.7.0b Build: 2619 - 2621.
Is this a bug or is it intentionally?

Hi Cornelis,

Yes, this was changed in 3.7. The arrange functionality doesn't determine the order of the objects in the Responsive Row anymore as this was causing other issues.

However, we are about to put up another beta and now you can select an object in the responsive row and 'Cut' it and then go to the position you want it to be in. Select the object in the responsive row at the new position and right click and select 'Past at Mouse Position'. The object will be pasted after the currently selected object in the responsive row.

This new version should be available soon in the forums.

Thank you so much Paul. This is a very good alternative and an improvement as well!

I'm sorry to report that there is still a bug in the latest EW 3.7.0 build 2633.

Let's say I want to 'Cut' one of my 100 stacked and full width Text Sections, that are all embedded in one Responsive Row, to an other position. For instance from position 45 to 80 with 'Paste at Mouse Location'. That works and number 45 does jump in the proper number 80 position - but it is actually not part anymore of that same Responsive Row!
You have to choose 'Embed In' from the contextual menu to embed Text Section 80 back into the same Responsive Row where it came from. But as soon as you do that then the Text Section 80 jumps to the top in the number 1 position. That means dragging and scrolling from position 1 to 80 - which I wanted to avoid doing. I feel like a dog trying to catch his own tale.

If you do not embed it again then Google Search Console will report an error about 'the devise width is inappropriate' after publishing.

For some reason either the 'Cut' or the 'Paste at Mouse Location' option forget which Responsive Row they came from.
Hopefully you are able to fix this...
