Re-order auto-layout without detaching


Brooke_White

Would be great if there was a way to be able to change the sort/order in which auto layout components are shown, without having to detach or redo all the work to edit the components.

For example:
eg. using a table or list component, and being able to move row 3 to be row 4.

Current native experiences forces you to either:

  1. Detach the component (not ideal) and resort
  2. Redo all the content for both rows 3 + 4

Neither of these are ideal from a system or efficiency perspective.

Thanks for the feedback, @Brooke_White!

We’ll pass this onto our team for future consideration.

THIS. Re-doing the work or being forced to detach is my biggest headache of any of Figma’s limitations. It causes so much work to be wasted. This and similar auto-layout changes to components has been requested by users multiple times over the years, a quick Google search will pull up multiple other related posts in the forum.

it is super helpful for multilingual design systems, where text order can switch between rtl and ltr.
