We have decided to start using Freeways RPL action instead of building box model by hand. Pretty amazing what the action is capable of doing if you understand the principals behind what is going on.
My question is that it does not appear to allow us to order items in the Freeway side panel thus ordering how the code is seen on the html page. Is there a way around this?

Lets try this again,
How can we affect the order of the html code when using RPL? Moving items items that are affected by RPL in the stack order of the page seem to have no affect on how the code is ordered.
Items that have been removed from RPL seem to show up at the top of wherever they are placed. Example, we have a body container using RPL and there is a layer that is used as on overlay that has been removed. If the overlay layer is placed in the body container it will show up first in the code, no matter where it is placed in the stack of items. How can we order this so the code will output with the correct order?

Hi Dave,
The RPL Action needs to reorder all the content in the code so that everything in the page flows correctly. Items at the top of the page will appear at the top of the code and items at the bottom of the page will appear at the bottom of the code. This is an advantage for both screen readers and SEO, as well as making the content flow correctly when content is added dynamically or the text size is increased.
Anything that is removed from the layout will, as you’ve discovered, be left at the top of the code.
Hope this helps,
Joe

Hi Joe,
Thank you for the response. The first issue is that the items that have been removed show up on top thus confusing screen readers and hurting SEO. Would prefer that removed items come last if there is no way to order them.
The other issue when using the RPL action is, it appears that RPL reads the content based on where it is placed on the Freeway page, left to right top to bottom, not where things are placed in the side Site/Page Panel. An example would be a news post with a small image to the left, Title and news article to right. If we were to hand code this we would put the title first then the article followed by the image. This can actually be done when not using the RPL.
Please advise, Dave
