Objective
orderCSS property, that declaratively re-orders flex box items by a numeric value, similar to z-index, but in space.Solution
We removed the ability to directly construct
Childrenfrom&[Entity]some time ago (#4197 #5532) to enforce consistent hierarchies (RFC 53). If I understand it correctly, it's currently possible to re-order children by usingChildren::swap()orcommands.entity(id).replace_children(...), however these are either too cumbersome, needlessly inefficient, and/or don't take effect immediately.This PR exposes the in-place sorting methods from the
sliceprimitive inChildren, enabling imperatively sorting children in place via&mut Children, while still preserving consistent hierarchies.Changelog
Added
sliceprimitive are now exposed by theChildrencomponent, allowing imperatively sorting children in place (Useful for UI scenarios such as lists)
