[PD] order of object evaluation -> featurewish

Is there any way to change the order in which the objects are evaluated
other than
deleting the too early one and inserting it again?
For the kind of work that I am doing that would couse havoc in most of
the cases.
Apart from that I find it very inconvinient, that the program does not
give any imformation
on that important matter. (hope I did not overlook some important
feature here)
Is there any remedy in the pipeline? if not, then here is my feature wish:
- make the objects index number (I mean the program already creates one)
accessible via the properties menu. pd would then just calculate the
objects according
to their indices (with some internal decision method if two ore more
objects come with the
same index)
- If in edit mode an object is highlighted then TAB would jump to the
next object in order
of evaluation. Shift Tab would jump to the previous object. this would
make debugging
really easy.
- the sorting could of course be done automatically (with the aim to
avoid any unwanted
unit delays) but this would have to be calculated whenever the signal
routing is changed.
(=whenever a wire is introduced or deleted)
I'd rather prefer to do it manually also because that would sometimes
give me a unit
delay for free + it saves pd from another additional overhead.
