Is there any way to change the "z-index" of an auto-layout child?

@Bobby_Spiecher I combined the steps of your hack into a plugin you so you can do it in one step now.

Same wonky solution so not ideal but at least it’s faster.

I agree, we need to be able to manually adjust the z-index of layers without interfering with the order they are laid out.

[Usecase]: In my case I have an autolayouted frame which holds three layers, one of which contains a child which overflows the parent. This represents a dropdown menu being active which should not push content downards.

This is the way

Yeah, here is another need 😦. That can be similar as “fix scroll” usage maybe.

There’s actually an easier way to do this reversal “hack”… Simply select the auto layout frame you wish to reverse and manually drag the top adjustment handle of the frame past the bottom of the frame to its same height.

That being said, @Figma_Support can we please get confirmation that you’ve seen this issue and are taking the step to build a feature that allows this z-index reversal? This hack breaks the auto layout by reversing the entire frame. Thus we cannot build components which have predictable overrides.

Same problem on my side and I can’t delete my auto-layout because it will break the interaction of my prototype. Is there still no solution to keep using auto layout and force a certain z-index?

This worked. Cheers Bobby

Thank you! You’re a hero.

This Really Worked <3
