Feature Request: Travel time optimisation, reduce wear and time

So i was thinking today about how PrusaSlicer process each item on the bed, i think what it is doing is looking at the object list in PrusaSlicer and then processing each one in turn.

However, when you click re-arrange, this list stays the same, thats fine, no issues with that, but the gcode generated runs in order from that list.

The impact of this is that the head can move a significant distance between models, which increases 

  • time to print due to travels
  • wear on bearings
  • wear on belts

could there be an option to re-organise the list so that the optimal head travel time is also factored in, over many full print beds this can add up to a significant amount of time and wear

maybe work similar to the MMU as well, and go forward then in reverse?

Just a thought

The path planning will be improved in PrusaSlicer 2.2.
