If you prefer ordering your designs by their positions on the canvas, Zeplin will analyze the layout of your designs based on how close they are to each other. They can be laid out vertically, horizontally, or both vertically and horizontally; Zeplin can still distinguish the layout and publish them in the correct order automatically.

If you have any feedback about how Zeplin orders your designs based on their positions, please let us know at support@zeplin.io—we’d love to make it better.
