<p>Note that [append] will update its pointer to point to the new
scalar. The new pointer is also output. So for consecutive appends
you only need to send a pointer once in the beginning.</p>

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