My case is, I have an SVG that I embedded - a simple square box. I set aspect ratio to `none` and then made it a wide and short rectangle to act as a bar chart for an analogue display. I copied the element so I had 5 rectangles, one each for: PV, and Alarm setpoints: HH, H, L, LL, below (L and LL set to 0).

Each element has a different `clip-path` style binding. However after creating and binding everything, I realised that I’d put the PV above everything else instead of behind… hence needing to move it to the top (to get it to the bottom 🙂 ), bindings intact.  
(thanks again to @dkylep for that clip-path tip! [Perspective Equivalent Vision Level Indicator? - #4 by dkylep](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-equivalent-vision-level-indicator/37786/4))

If you deliberately bind to properties within an array element and want to move the element to another position, I personally can’t see a use case to _not_ move the binding with it 🤔
