BTW, you can easily verify this behavior with the help patch of [append]

Hi Laure,

data structures are displayed according to their position in the list, meaning that objects with a higher index will be shown on top of objects with a lower index.

There is, however, a bug/inconsistency:

If you move (not only click) a scalar, it will always show on top of any other scalar. If you close and open the window, the original order is restored.

Dear all,

I have a quick question about the object placement in data structures.
What determines which object lies on top, and which goes in the
background? Instantiation and creation order don't seem to affect the
placement order (but maybe that's also a problem in my patch…)

Thanks!
