A quick tutorial on how to re-arrange Body or Parts in FreeCAD. If you are like me at all you may not do things in the "right" order. This is one way I have found to re-order items in a way that you may prefer.
This is only for a Body that is not in a Part. It will works for any object that isn't "linked". If you try to use it for a Pad, Pocket or other items in Part Design you will have a lot of trouble. IF you try to re-order an item inside a Part Workbench Cut/Union/Boolean/Fusion etc., You will also have trouble. It basically is helpful only for "completed" shapes.
