Figma Motion is spectacular, but as a new tool, it still has a few workflow gaps.

One I’ve encountered is that once an animation contains several layers, the timeline becomes difficult to scan because track order is fixed.

I mocked up a concept that would let you drag tracks up or down in the Motion panel, similar to reordering layers, without affecting visual stacking or animation timing.

The change is purely organizational. It would allow designers to keep related tracks together, make the timeline easier to read, and simplify working through complex animations.

Here’s a quick animated mockup of the idea. Would this improve your workflow?
