In Pro, it would be useful to have a way to “pin” a layer to the top of the Table of Contents to make sure that the layer is always on top of all other layers.
Obviously we can just reorder manually, but this would be a time saver for users when working in a map frame with lots of layers, or when working in a map frame where layers are frequently added and deleted.

I like this idea. Would we want to only pin a single layer as always on top? Or multiple?

This would be extremely helpful! Drives me crazy when the boundary layers I want at the top get bumped down every time I add a new layer.

Great idea. I am moving a layer up each time a geoprocessing output comes in on top of it.

I was just searching online to see if there is a way to do that...

This would be very helpful - as per Randy's comment from April 2023, having GP output that comes in above reference layers you'd like to overlay the results is irritating. Ideally -for me - I think you'd be able to pin a layer or group layer and have it retain its location relative to the top of the table of contents.

Additionally, adding some options to the layer context menu such as 'move to top' would be useful too.
