So this option would come extremely useful when forging. Though not the most important priority of the game right now, I think this would be a wonderful addition to the game.
So In Halo Reach we had the ability to phase items into each other. Now when you did this it made the two items into a state called z-fighting. Z-Fighting is when 2 or more objects flicker when they overlap. The objects flicker because the game is trying to render them both at the same time, this makes it so the objects have to fight to get on top, thus making the flicker. This can become highly annoying when forging, especially when you have to blend two or more items into a map.
But if we had the “Move to front/back option” you would actually tell which item the game should render and put on the top/back. With this you can make maps nicer, and with less frustration. I know I would want this because then i could blend some items together to make an awesome looking structure while it being smooth.
This would be a cool small addition! But I think the best thing they could add to forge would be the ability for items to block light and cast shadows. Such as making a pitch black room inside a closed box. All the map would look so much more natural, if items block light on other objects.
