Description

Specifically in nesting scenarios the order or layers should be controllable with minimal effort.

<Parent order={3}>
   <Child1 order={2} />
   <Child2 order={1}>
       <Child2-1 order={0} />
   </Child2>
</Parent>

without the ordering this would render

<parent-path />
<child-1-path />
<child-2-path />
<child-2-1-path />

with ordering we would get

<child-2-1-path />
<child-2-path />
<child-1-path />
<parent-path />

This may be trickier than it seems, but should be possible and would solve a real pain point in svg composition. From a holistic approach if this were introduced for everything inside of <Svg /> it could prove very powerful - it could also mean inventing a v-dom for svg though...

Research direction

Start with the nesting example in this issue and review linked pull request #27; no source files or tests are named. Done would mean that nested SVG elements can be assigned an order and render in the requested sequence, with the scope for ordering inside resolved.
