With arrows it works. The pieces do not use "Does not stack" trait. I still
cannot order them with a simple mouse drag & drop as I can when I don't use
a grid but since it's ok with arrows, that suits me fine. The module I have
trouble with is one I'm designing (EuroFront2/WestFront2/EastFront2)
 
I did a lot of seach in the mail list archive today for different issues I
mostly found answers to this way but not this one. Can't think of any reason
why I did not search for this last. Mea Maxima Culpa.

Objet : Re: [vassalengine] Unit order within a stack



You can select the piece and then use the up arrow (to move to the top of
the stack) or the down arrow key (bottom of the stack). Note that you should
still be able to grab individual pieces and place them within an expanded
stack whether or not the map has a grid or not, I'm not sure why it's not
working for you. What module are you trying this with? Perhaps that
particular module has the "does not stack" trait applied to some/all the
pieces?
