Hi Forum,
In a column container, I am trying to move the newly added component to the top. Selecting and dragging it to the top is more often a miss than hit.
Is there a best way to arrange things around?
It should just work for you. You do get a visual indication of what the modified layout will look like.
You can move stuff in Project Browser. Let's say you want to move a component to the top:
- Select the first object.
- Shift-click on the last object.
- Ctrl-click on the object to be moved to deselect it.
- Ctrl-X to cut all the selected objects.
- Select the view root. Ctrl-V to paste everything after the one remaining item.
It looks complicated but it's very quick.

One thing to note is that you cannot drag items past items that are set to display: False. You have to set display to True on these items to be able to drag components across them, very annoying 
There are other weird quirks where if you drag items from bottom upwards, it's very difficult to get the item to the right spot. The item you're dragging and the item whose place you're trying to move it into flick between positions...
