Reordering Layers and Objects
In the Canvas, layers that are arranged higher up in the list appear in front of the lower
layers. The same is true for objects—the objects at the top of the list appear in front of
objects at the bottom. You can reorder the objects in your project in the Layers tab or
in the Timeline Layer list.
To reorder an object or layer:
m
In the Layers tab, click the name of the object or layer and drag up or down in the list.
When the position indicator appears where you want to place the object or layer,
release the mouse button.
Note: To move multiple objects, Shift-select the objects (or drag downward in the
empty area immediately to the left of the object name), and drag up or down in the list.
If an object that is reordered in the list has applied behaviors or filters, the behaviors
and filters are moved with the object.
