Chipp, I began using the start editing mode in my test stack and still got a quirk. I think the fix is to do a .. repeat until the layer is what I want it to be. I nokw this is ambiguous at this point, but more later.
If I move a group that has 3 children, this is a block of 4 layers, thus extracting these, collapsing the other layers, then reinserting those 4 may not be the desired result [eg. the layer number ends up placing the group above another group] I tink I know how I will approach it this weekend.
