Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not really a problem, but I think it would speed up printing.

Describe the solution you'd like When the arrange button is pressed, the height (Z-axis) of each item would be taken into account and similar height items grouped near each other. The theory is there would be less movement between pieces as shorted items are completed.

Describe how it would work I would assume each item on the build plate would be sorted by height and then laid out in that order. I don't know how the process is done now, but that would seem to be a way to keep similar height items near each other.

Describe alternatives you've considered I didn't think of this until I watched the printer head have to move across the build plate between items because the shorter items had been finished. If I had realized it, I probably would have moved the higher items closer together manually.

Additional context Add any other context or paint drawing about the feature request here.
