Option for Default Stacking Order for Auto Layout - Per Design File

Will be great to have an option for default canvas stacking order for Auto Layout for each Design File.

We provide a lot of tooltips in our products.
And use Auto Layout in a lot of places.

One of the most common questions I get from my team is:
“How do I get [this expanded thingy] to show on top of [that other item visually below it]?”

With default Canvas stacking order as “Last on top” - every single time we apply Auto Layout, we’d need to remember to double-check stacking or, or manually update for every single Auto Layout.

As a design creation tool, I believe there is no single absolute right or wrong logic.

What can be good is the flexibility for users to customize the options that work for them.

A default option applied to each design file will help tremendously.
