Is your feature request related to a problem?

It is very tedious and time consuming to manually set the print sequence (when Set Print Sequence Manually is enabled) when you have many models on the build plate. Going to the object list, right-click "Print before..." or "Print after..." is very slow and can be confusing, and is certainly time consuming. There should be a better way as I frequently print full build plates and need everything to print in the right order.

Describe the solution you'd like

I have two ideas to make setting the print sequence order of the parts much faster and easier:

  1. Make a new function or script, like a right-click context menu to "Set Print Order" of the selected part, then a dialogue box opens and you simply type in the number/order that the part should print in (i.e., 1 (1st), 2 (2nd)...etc.), and they will be rearranged in the object list as well.
  2. Make a new function or script to "Set Print Sequence of Parts" and when invoked, you just click each part in the consecutive order you want them printed in, and however you click, that is how they will be printed or arranged in the object list.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Affected users and/or printers
