Using 8.3.4, I don't remember re-arranging components/containers within a flex container being so difficult, I basically can't just drag the elements into the order I want them. My example below doesn't show it but playing with the Z-index of the components also doesn't have any effect when rearranging. The only way I've been able to rearrange is by cutting and then re-pasting in the order I need the elements. Are there any open tickets for this, or has anybody else ran into this?

I would suggest using the Move backward/Forward context menu item in the tree on the left, but even that is buggy:
It’s still what I use, but I have to usually move several items in the new order I want them to appear given that it moves them all the way to the back/front.
Yeah thats what I meant by
I was using these buttons in the toolbar(I think they're the same), it had no effect as well unfortunately but I will upvote that bug report.

It’s a little awkward but the way I’ve found works consistently is to always send elements to front or back and systematically move them until they’re sorted.
It’s hard to explain. Say you want to order elements numerically and they are currently ordered like this:
1
3
4
5
2
You would select 2 and send to front. Then select 1 and send to front. If you’re moving a bunch to earlier in the stack you want to send them to front in reverse order so you’re systematically stacking them. So move the last element first and work your way forward to the first element.
