Changing the stacking order of artwork using the Layers paletteThe stacking order of artwork on the artboard corresponds to the hierarchy of items in the Layers palette. Artwork in the top layer in the Layers palette is at the front of the stacking order, while artwork in the bottom layer in the Layers palette is at the back of the stacking order. (See Stacking objects.) Within a layer, objects are also arranged hierarchically. If you choose Object > Arrange > Bring to Front, the object will move to the top position within the layer; if you choose Object > Arrange > Send Backward, the object will move one position down within the layer. Note: You cannot move a path, group, or collective element to the top position in the Layers palette--only layers can reside at the top of the layer hierarchy. To change the order of items in the Layers palette:
