Why does the

zIndex

do nothing in a

LazyVerticalGrid

? I've implemented a drag and drop feature that work perfectly well in

LazyColumn

and

LazyRow

, but in the

LazyVerticalGrid

, the

zIndex

I apply to the dragged element (to always show it on top) have no effect. The dragged element is always shown behind the next elements in the list and above the previous elements in the list. I also tried another "static" implementation using

Row

and

Column

but it have the same problem.

Well in

LazyVerticalGrid

, your item Composables are wrapped in another Row composable of which you have no control... and

zIndex

has effect only on composables that has the same parent

we are currently working on refactoring LazyVerticalGrid to not add extra Row so all the children will be on the same layer exactly to enabled use cases like this
