## 💡 Workflow Improvements

### Before: Manual Reordering
1. Click element → Move up
2. Click same element again → Move up
3. Click same element again → Move up
4. **Tedious**: Multiple clicks needed

### Now: Visual Layer Panel
1. Open layers panel
2. **See all positions** at once
3. Click ↑↓ directly on target element
4. **Quick**: One-click per move

### Example: Move Gallery to Top
**Old way** (if gallery at position 5):
```
Click gallery → ↑ (now 4)
Click gallery → ↑ (now 3)
Click gallery → ↑ (now 2)
Click gallery → ↑ (now 1)
= 8 clicks (4 selections + 4 moves)
```

**New way**:
```
Open layers → Click ↑ on gallery 4 times
= 5 clicks (1 open + 4 moves)
AND you see the whole list!
```
