I have no idea how to order objects in group other then repeat add and remove to sort the objects.
I tried unshift
on group objects but it does not save state.
$(document).on("click", "#addToGroup", function() {
var objects = canvas.getActiveObject();
if(objects && objects.type === "activeSelection") {
objects.toGroup();
canvas.requestRenderAll();
}
});
count = 1;
$(document).on("click", "#addObject", function() {
canvas.add(new fabric.Rect({
width: 100, height: 100, left: 100 + (count * 20), top: 20 + (count * 10), angle: -10,
fill: 'rgba(0,200,0,1)'
}));
});

You can use fabric.Object.prototype.moveTo(). There is an undocumented behavior: if the object you call it upon is a part of a group, the object is moved within the group's _objects
array, effectively changing its z-index when the group is redrawn.
Also, make sure to somehow force fabric to redraw the group after that, e.g. set group.dirty = true
.
const canvas = new fabric.Canvas("c")
const a = new fabric.Rect({
width: 100,
height: 100,
left: 100,
top: 20,
angle: -10,
fill: 'rgba(0,200,0,1)'
})
const b = new fabric.Rect({
width: 50,
height: 100,
left: 150,
top: 50,
angle: 45,
stroke: '#eee',
strokeWidth: 10,
fill: 'rgba(0,0,200,1)'
})
const c = new fabric.Circle({
radius: 50,
left: 150,
top: 75,
fill: '#aac'
})
const group = new fabric.Group([a, b, c])
canvas.add(group).requestRenderAll()
document.querySelector('#b1').addEventListener('click', () => {
const bottomChild = group.getObjects()[0]
bottomChild.moveTo(group.size() - 1)
// force fabric to redraw the group
group.dirty = true
canvas.requestRenderAll()
})
