order of decorations in front panel

[Joju]

the decorations in the front panel have properties, these properties you can to modify in execution time, but the order off these decorations is created automaticaly, and the newer decoration object, it's the first, and other existing decorations your order number is changed automaticaly.

Proposed solutions 

- the automatic order number should be generated, in the same order to are created the decorations, in the same way of controls

- create a new function to modifying the order number, the same way to modify the tab order of the controls.

I know -- the titles don't look anything alike, but, trust me, it's a duplicate. 🙂

I agree with you, my idea is duplicated, but  my comment of same issue is about decorations, not about the controls

Just to clarify AQ's post - the items you get from the Decorations[] property are sorted in their Z-order. LabVIEW already has an existing edit-time interface for controlling this (the right-most button on the toolbar is the reorder button), which can probably help you. The link AQ posted is about controlling it at run-time.
