Changing the order of objects

You can change the stacking order of objects on a layer 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.

Changing the stacking order corrects the appearance of this graphic by bringing the object to the front. (Tip: Hold down Alt and drag the pointer to select any object you intersect.)

*

An object cannot be moved to a locked (non-editable) layer; instead, it is moved to the closest editable layer. For example, if 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.

To reverse the order of multiple objects Back to Top
