Openshot-qt: About the covering order of tracks

[wxy555123]

I want to know How to change the covering order of tracks, let lower "layer number" tracks cover the higher "layer number" tracks ?
Is there a simple way to implement it?

Thank you !

You probably mean moving the lower tracks above the upper tracks... sadly, OpenShot does not have that feature yet. We will need a contributor to submit a PR adding that feature...

Hope that answers your question.

@peanutbutterandcrackers
Thank you for your reply.
I'am trying to change its code logic to implement this feature.
But the source code is complicated, so I haven't figure out the right position yet... (ಡωಡ)

@wxy555123 - Wow. That is great! Thank you! We are in need for more contributors like yourself.

I'm sorry. I don't have any insights regarding this. Perhaps @DylanC might be able to help you out.

Just a minor thing, in case you haven't noticed already - which I believe you have, but just on the off chance - you'll have to branch from the develop branch and not from the master one (OpenShot is using git-flow for development) and make your changes and submit PR against the develop branch. Other than that, some contributors often make their changes in their develop branch rather than on a separate branch, which would make the process a lot easier for everyone.

All the very best. I'd love to see this new feature in OpenShot, myself. :+1: You're awesome :100:

I have found key position by using regex searching.
You need to modify the relation operator in this function:
$scope.project.layers = $scope.project.layers.sort(function(a,b)
