Hi guys,
Unless I'm missing something obvious, this technique should work for getting the stacking order of objects (without duplicating, etc.):
1) var items = page.pageItems.everyItem().getElements().slice(0) (to get an array of all top level page items.)
2) for each item you'd find the index in the items array. Here's a function I use:
function GetItemIndex(array,item){
for(var i=0;i<array.length;i++){
if(array[i] == item){return i}
}
return null;
}
3) then you just compare the indexes.
