How do I change the sequence/order of widgets from a subflow in the Dasboard 2.0? The group of the widgets in the subflow is set by env(group)...

Thank you for hints...

Hey @wangenkuesse - the best way to do this is to create the widget outside of the subflow _first_, order suing the Dashboard 2.0 sidebar, and _then_, move it into a subflow.

Currently, we aren't able to expose the `order` fields out of the subflow, and therefore allow control over the ordering once inside.

@Steve-Mcl may have other thoughts here, or ideas on how we could improve this?

Thanks... I tried your solution a few times. It didn't solve the problem. When I create a subflow of a selection, the order changes...

I tried to export the subflow, change the "order" field by hand and reimport it. It does not what I have expected.  
How do i have do modify the order fields to get it in a desired sequence?

I was thinking about css and using "grid-order" as workaround, but some widgets do not have a "class"-field exposed...

Are you able to share a screen recording please? Subflows are still in [beta](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/user/subflows.html#subflows-in-dashboard-2-0) for us, so we are aware of some limitations
