  1. /* Boxes Front to Back
  2. Select boxes by name or number and rearrange them from front to back in order. Useful in complex layouts where there are several boxes on top of each other.
  3. You will be given a list of boxes, and asked to double-click on the names in order from front to back. You can click on Cancel at any time to finish the process.
