This is a performance improvement to fm_renumber. It works by limiting the
fm-wrapperelements which getdata-fm-array-positionattributes to only those with limits != 1. In JS, only.fm-element[data-fm-array-position]elements are traversed. Using a sample group with deep nesting, DOM traversal dropped from thousands of elements to dozens and performance improved about as one would expect.To be clear, this isn't an end-all-be-all fix. DOM traversal in this function is still a problem, and it's still very possible to generate a nesting of groups and fields that blocks the event loop for multiple seconds on sorting, but this should solve 99.9% of real world use cases. Further refinement should be weighed by its opportunity costs, since that time could be better spent on a deeper overhaul using React or VueJS.
