Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

For List type resources which are an array. There are use cases where the order matters in terms of how the underlying application applies them. sshd_config is one example for crypto algorithms. In that case, we need to allow the user to add to the list and set the order via append and prepend and also make sure the list excludes cretain values via remove.
