A set of order commands to put objects in a selection above below the key object
Sometimes I need to move something I already selected behind or above something else.
The current workaround would be to cut it, select the target object, use Paste in Front / Back command.
Using clipboard for this is evil, because putting stuff in it (especially if you have large images) is costly.
What Ai could have allowed is to treat the key object as the target.
Select all you need with the object to put above/below, click it, call the normal Arrange command — voila.
There’s a beautiful set of 2 free scripts developed long ago by Herman van Boeijen aka Nimbling, https://github.com/nimbling/Nimbling_Scripts — specifically 'Send behind…' & 'Bring in Front of…' that does a very similar thing — puts everything above the topmost or below the bottommost object, but using the key would be so much simpler, without guessing or looking what’s at the top.
