Is there a way to change the direction of ordering of items in a template repeater with a best fit layout? I would like the items to be ordered in columns first instead of rows. ### Desired: `1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9` ### Actual: `1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9` The repeater must function for a wide variety of display sizes, so changing the order of items in the `template parameters` dataset is not a viable option. ---

No, unfortunately not. Unlike flow layout, `BestFit` decides on row-based ordering and doesn’t have any ability to override.
