Description

It would be great if the Block object had a property
that indicated it's position in the section.blocks list.
( Similar to how the Section object does )

This way , when filtering for a certain block
type it's positional data would remain.

{%- liquid

    assign block = blocks | where : 'type' , 'Type' | first

    assign index0 = block.index0
    assign index = block.index
