You can change the stacking order of objects on a layer or a page by sending objects to the front or back, or behind or in front, of other objects. You can also position objects precisely in the stacking order, as well as reverse the stacking order of multiple objects.
The four objects (left) are ordered from top to bottom to create the final image (right).

|
• |

object is in front of all other objects on the active layer, it is moved to the layer
above.

An object cannot be moved to a locked (non-editable) layer; instead, it is
moved to the closest normal or editable layer. For example, when you apply the
To front of page command, and the topmost layer is locked, the object is
moved to the topmost editable layer. Any objects on the locked layer remain
in front of the object.
|
By default, all objects on the master page appear on top of the objects on other
pages. For information about reordering content on master page layers, see To
move a layer.
|
An Order command is unavailable if the selected object is already positioned
in the specified stacking order. For example, the To front of page command
is unavailable if the object is already in front of all the other objects on the page.
