moveListItem

Method
moveListItem(targetItem, fromParentItem, toParentItem, newIndex)
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16 LayerListViewModel since 4.2, moveListItem added at 4.16.

Moves a list item from one position to another in the LayerList widget. This allows the user to reorder the operational layers in a map or even reorganize sublayers of GroupLayers. You cannot move MapImageLayer sublayers outside of a MapImageLayer.

For the purposes of the documentation below, an item (or list item) refers to a layer in a map. A parent item refers to a GroupLayer or MapImageLayer, and a child item refers to a sublayer of a GroupLayer or MapImageLayer.

Parameters
targetItem ListItem

The list item (or layer) to move.

fromParentItem ListItem

If the targetItem is a child of a parent list item and you want to move it out of the parentItem, then use this parameter to indicate the parent item to move from.

toParentItem ListItem

The parent list item to move the targetItem to if moving it as a child to another parent item.

newIndex Number

The new index to move the targetItem to. If moving the item as a child to a parent item, then specify the index of the item within that parent.

Examples
// Moves the first layer to the final position in the map
const viewModel = layerList.viewModel;
const item = layerList.operationalItems.at(0);
const lastIndex = layerList.operationalItems.length - 1;

viewModel.moveListItem(item, null, null, lastIndex);
// Moves the first sublayer in the first group layer
// to the first position in the second group layer
const viewModel = layerList.viewModel;
const parentItem1 = layerList.operationalItems.at(0);
const subItem1 = parentItem1.children.at(0);
const parentItem2 = layerList.operationalItems.at(1);

viewModel.moveListItem(subItem1, parentItem1, parentItem2, 0);
