<p>Oh, I didn't realize that I can go to the last position using
[next( message sent to [pointer] and then append a scalar to the
end of the scalar list..</p>
<p>Everything is ok now for me. The last created scalar is the last
one to be drawn, even when refreshing display of the patch.</p>

I understood that datastructure z-order</font><font size="+2"><font

size="+2"><font size="+2">order</font>, but when you
programmatically create a new scalar (with [traverse ... ,
bang( -> [pointer] -> [append struct_name]), it's
placed on the top of the list of scalars, although it's drawn
at last. A refreshing of the window restablishes the correct
drawing order. <br>
<br>
Would it be possible to get a new pointer at the end of the
list (and not at the top) ? <br>
<br>
Thanks <br>

DS scalars are stored as linked-lists in the same way as objectboxes,
so you might reorder them the way objectboxes may be reordered
(Cut and then Paste once will bring the selection to the top).
DS arrays are stored like float arrays, so I suppose you can reorder them
like you might reorder elements in a float array (that is, painfully...)
(maybe that there's a lib to help you do it with float arrays, but with DS
arrays, I doubt it)</pre>
