Question

Why does "Bring to Front" push the object to the back instead of bringing it forward?

Despite solving most things, Figma still hasn’t properly addressed the “bring to front” and “send to back” features in 6 years. When I use “bring to front,” it pushes the element all the way to the bottom. Do I have to use “absolute” positioning just to move something forward or backward?

Here’s my setup:

Frame (auto layout)
[
→ Text
→ Text
→ Frame (list title bar -scroll on screenshot-)
→ List elements (10 frames stacked vertically)
]

I want to make the list title bar sticky, but when I do, it overlaps the 10 list elements below. When I use “bring to front,” the list title bar gets pushed to the back. My goal is to prevent the 10 list elements from overlapping the list title bar.

How can I achieve this?

Change canvas stacking to First on top

The solution to a problem I’ve been searching for such a long time and couldn’t find anywhere, words can’t express how grateful I am ❤️ . Figma, I underestimated you, and I’m sorry! 🫣
