Ability to add/remove/re-order items in an auto-layout component

This is a reference to a topic that was closed without resolution:

I can’t express how frustrating it is when a designer has to detach one of your components simply to add a tab in-between existing tabs or a dropdown option above existing ones.

When I build a component I shouldn’t have to create 10 hidden layers as placeholders to make sure that the component works for a design with 2 dropdown options or 10 options. I should be able to include 1-2 items in the component and let designers add/remove more from there.

Lack or re-ordering capability combined with the lack of add/remove capability for items in an auto-layout component means our components continue to get detached shortly after use. It defeats the purpose of maintaining a component library. It becomes a template library instead.
