Layer Order panel with order groups: organise the map drawing order in folders
About
A Layer Order panel with order groups, for QGIS 3.40+ and QGIS 4: organise the map drawing order in nested folders that exist only for the drawing order (not Layers-panel groups). Drag and drop, move up/down, undo/redo, two-way sync with the Layers panel visibility and with QGIS's own Layer Order panel. Based on Layer Order Plus 1.0.0 by Samuel Kultz (QGIS 3), with his agreement.
