As we often want to include upwards of 10 different overlays for a given site with many different datasets from different points in time, it would be great to have a way to consistently order overlays.

Right now, it is only possible to rearrange overlays imported as pdf manually, but the order changes for the next dataset. Overlays imported as dxf can not be changed in order.

Hi @nicola.schillo,

Thank you for your feedback.

You will be able to change the DXF order in a future release. Keep an eye open for it!  
For persisting the order across datasets, the team has been informed of the problem.

Best regards  
Aurélien
