Hi
From previous old discussion ( https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2006-04/037622.html )
I understood that datastructure z-order drawing depends of creation order, but when you programmatically create a new scalar (with [traverse ... , bang(  -> [pointer] ->  [append struct_name]), it's placed on the top of the list of scalars, although it's drawn at last. A refreshing of the window restablishes the correct drawing order.

Would it be possible to get a new pointer at the end of the list (and not at the top) ?

Thanks

DS scalars are stored as linked-lists in the same way as objectboxes, 
so you might reorder them the way objectboxes may be reordered 
(Cut and then Paste once will bring the selection to the top).

DS arrays are stored like float arrays, so I suppose you can reorder them
like you might reorder elements in a float array (that is, painfully...)
(maybe that there's a lib to help you do it with float arrays, but with DS
arrays, I doubt it)
