Allow reordering components from sidebar

Hey all, I often find myself trying to drag a new component I created above others I already have on the canvas, and it's sometimes really cumbersome. To mitigate this, it would be great to be able to re-order the components from the sidebar, i.e. if I drag the text component above the table component in the sidebar, it gets put above the table component on the canvas as well (Elementor, the WP page builder does this pretty well, and I'm guessing a lot of other page builders as well).

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yes, it comes as a natural reaction as well. I think I've tried this several times in the past, being equally disappointed each time. + 1

just a tip to those who are new to the pain, if you're having problems resizing something to the right grid point (like you're trying to increase the height by dragging the bottom of a component down but everything starts scrolling super fast or youre just too ocd and off by 1 is off by 2 too much)... try moving the component down and resizing by dragging the top up. it works for left and right also.
