It would be really useful if users were able to re-order the position of layers in the Map Layer Widget, which in turn would allow the drawing order of layers to be changed in the Map Widget. This would make the Experiences that we build more flexible and user friendly for our users.

This could work as it does in new Map Viewer - by dragging and dropping layers up or down in the widget, or alternatively by using a menu to move a layer up or down - and any reordering would only need to be remembered on a per-user, browser session or temporary basis.

Hey @TonghuiMing,

I'm not able to find this option anywhere still. Are you referring to the "reorder layers" option that applies to runtime? I believe the majority of folks here are looking for a way to explicitly define the order of layers in the widget prior to runtime or any interaction. Is this now possible as well, or only through user interaction at runtime?

@JoshBerna You can define the initial layer order in the Map Viewer.

@TonghuiMingOh my gosh I can't believe I never made that connection--that it's based solely on the order of layers in the web map. Welp, I feel silly. Thanks for the advice, as always.
