Marco Buono 5288be7c6e Expose sorting methods in Children (#8522) ... # Objective - For many UI use cases (e.g. tree views, lists), it is important to be able to imperatively sort child nodes. - This also enables us to eventually support something like the [`order`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/order) CSS property, that declaratively re-orders flex box items by a numeric value, similar to z-index, but in space. ## Solution We removed the ability to directly construct `Children` from `&[Entity]` some time ago (#4197 #5532) to enforce consistent hierarchies ([RFC 53](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/53-consistent-hierarchy.md)). If I understand it correctly, it's currently possible to re-order children by using `Children::swap()` or `commands.entity(id).replace_children(...)`, however these are either too cumbersome, needlessly inefficient, and/or don't take effect immediately. This PR exposes the in-place sorting methods from the `slice` primitive in `Children`, enabling imperatively sorting children in place via `&mut Children`, while still preserving consistent hierarchies. --- ## Changelog ### Added - The sorting methods from the `slice` primitive are now exposed by the `Children` component, allowing imperatively sorting children in place (Useful for UI scenarios such as lists)		2023-05-01 15:57:25 +00:00
