How to keep a layer's position hierarchy in Timeline 'FIXED'

[S_ A]

Hi,

Is there any way I can keep a layer fixed/frozen in the timeline panel? I mean I want it to be the first and fixed so that if I create any new layer (Be solid, text, or anything, rigging controller) it will be automatically positioned below that fixed layer. Is it possible in AE?

in (Attached image) I want the marker to be fixed as layer number 1. I don't want it to go down or shift its position every time I create another shape layer/text layer or produce a rigging controller/s. I want them all to stay beneath that marker layer Automatically.. Is it too far-fetched?

Thank you.

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in After Effects. To move the layer to the top quickly, you can highlight the layer and use the shortcut - press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up Arrow (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift+Up Arrow (macOS).

Thanks,
