Hi,Next to being a QGIS user, we are also Autodesk users. One feature I like in Autodesk which doesn't exist in QGIS is the decoupling of the logical grouping (our existing nested hierarchies) from the actual drawing order.
In Autodesk you have two tabs in the layer tree. One tab is for the logical grouping, in the other tab you get a flat list of the drawing order.
Use case: you want to logically group layers from different media (say all gaz layers, all water layers, all waste-water layers), but in the drawing order you first want to draw the polygon features, then the line features, then the point features.
Something to discuss in the Zurich meeting?Attached is also the relevant part of the GUI in Autodesk. It is german. The "Gruppen" tab means "Groups", the "Zeichnungsreihenfolge" tab means "drawing order".
Do you also think that this decoupling would be useful for upcoming QGIS versions?
