Hi,

I often work with drawing having options.
In this case, I use several layers for the main drawing and the "same" layers with other name for the options.

Like:
main_layer_01
main_layer_02
...
option1_layer_01
option1_layer_02
...
option2_layer_01
option2_layer_02
...

If I want the main drawing and option 1, I've to select every single layer of the option 1 individually.
This is cumbersome and unreliable: when I select a layer, then the UI jumps back to the top of the pile and I've to scroll to the place where is the following layer (I choose the name so that the layer are correctly sorted).

So I would like:
- A way to group the layer. So I would be able so select/deselect a group (the option)
- [and/or] a way to change the order of the layers in the dock.

Maybe there is already a function for that?

Thanks

Jean-Luc
