Reorder Recurring selection within the Donation Amount block

I'd like the option to display the recurring options after the donation levels, as it works in current GiveWP forms.

Ideally, this would be part of the visual builder, and we could drag-and-drop certain elements within the Donation Level block.

Well, in the context of testing this new, free-flowing, drag-and-drop builder, for a moment I wondered if this was a bug! It was jarring to turn on recurring and get elements that were fixed in a preset order, when the form would have still made sense in a different order. For example, I don’t think I would personally ever choose to move Email Address above Name in the personal details section, but I’m glad it’s now possible!
As for why I would sometimes want the recurring option below the amount entry, it’s really just personal preference. When I’m styling a donation form in a more conversational tone, I just think it flows better. For example:
How much would you like to give? $xxxxx
Would you like to give this amount monthly? [select]
All that said, the CSS grid option you mentioned would definitely be a valid fallback. (CSS grid is like a cheat-code for trouble-free layout design!)

Thanks for the feedback, Matthew Lewis!
To help us better understand, would you mind sharing more about when and why its better to have the recurring options beneath the donation levels?
Also, as a technical note, it's really easy to add Custom CSS now in the "Design" tab, and the amounts use CSS Grid. So using the grid order property, the options can be moved below the fields.
