Subject: Feature Request: Restore Reset Functionality for contentChildren Signal API about angular HOT 3 CLOSED

The signal APIs reflect the factual query state and is not meant to be mutated. If you need to influence their ordering, you'll have to derive a second state value from the query signal.

QueryList.reset itself wasn't really intended to public either, it is an implementation detail that that ended up being public.

I would very much like to echo @JoostK message - the QueryList.reset ended up in the public API by an unfortunate accident - it never meant to be public / used by application developers.

As @JoostK mentioned one way of going about re-ordering of results would be to use a computed signal. Having said this I'm curious about the exact use-case that you are trying to address - would you mind share more info on why the re-ordering is needed?

Thank you for the response, I understand. The use case was a Carousel component where the position of the contents needs to be swapped, all without triggering the ChangeDetection. I believe I might find an alternative solution for this. I just wanted to inquire if there was a replacement for the reset function. Since it's not intended to be public anyway, I'll have to find a different approach. Many thanks, and greetings to the Angular Team!
