Layers tab order bug

It came to my attention that you are able to change the tab order of for example form input fields by rearranging them in the layers panel. Very handy however I need to arrange the layers backwards in order to get the correct tab order.

For example to get a correct tab order for a login form, I need to arrange the layers as such:

submit button
|
password field
|
Email Button

I fail to see that this is an intentional feature so by making this post I would like to bring this to the attention of the developers.

Hey Thomas,

Yes this is the intended behavior.
The layer order has 2 functions:

  1. The front to back order where the top is in front, this is what basically makes it a “Layers” panel.
  2. The DOM order where the bottom is first in tab index.
  3. Regarding sections, each time you add a section it adds in the front so a good practice will be after everything is visually arranged the way you want it to be go from the first section to the last and select arrange->bring to front. That way when you get to the last section they will be ordered correctly.
