How to add an element to an array at the first position in Twig

add-to-first-position.twig

{# The elements array we want to add a '0' to at the beginning. #}
{% set elements = ['1', '2', '3'] %}
{# Working: Merge elements to a new array and override the variable. The result will be ['0', '1', '2', '3']. #}
{% set elements = ['0']|merge(elements) %}
{# Not working: The result will be ['1', '2', '3', '0']. #}
{% set elements = elements|merge(['0']) %}

Issue:

When using the merge function in Twig, the new element is appended to the array. However, we would like the new element to prepend the existing array.

Solution:

Create a new array and append the original array to it.
