Hello! I'm trying to move the top left hero buttons (ORIGIN_FRAME_HERO_BUTTON), but it seems they're stuck to the left side of the hero bar (ORIGIN_FRAME_HERO_BAR).
With some experimentation, it seems hero buttons have two hardcoded UI layout behavior
1. Stick to the left of the hero bar
2. Distribute evenly in the vertical space of the hero bar, with hero #1 icon being at the very top, and hero #7 icon at the very bottom
Below code attempts to reverse the hero icon order, (hero #7, hero #6, etc.) and to move them to be horizontally side by side. It results in this (also please see attached map for the same):
Sorry for the long code, I just manually referenced all the UI elements to work with them, instead of looping and such. I called BlzEnableUIAutoPosition(false) as well as BlzFrameClearAllPoints on a bunch of stuff, hoping it would break any anchors these UI elements have, but it seems they still have some sort of anchors, or else I'm just missing something.
Also tried moving every single framepoint (tried both BlzFrameSetPoint and BlzFrameSetAbsPoint), in case that can overcome this seemingly built-in anchor. Also tried setting a different parent. None of it helped.

Introduction Frames positions are important and are the key to place frames where one wants them to be. To positionate frames there exist 4 natives. All 4 have great uses. native BlzFrameSetPoint takes framehandle frame, framepointtype point, framehandle relative, framepointtype relativePoint...
