Drag the Item icon to the target layer. •
Cut the items from their current layer and paste them on the target layer. •
To place a copy of an item on a different layer, press Control/Ctrl while dragging
the Item icon to the target layer in the Layers palette.
You can move master page items on layout pages from the Default layer to other 
layers, but those items will no longer be master page items if you do so.
Copying and pasting items between layers
There is an option in the Layers palette that allows you to set Paste To Remember
Layers.
Placeholder for image of the Layers palette.
This option is turned on by default. When it is on and one or more items are copied
and pasted, then the elements will be pasted on the same layer from which they
were copied. Layer matching is done by name, so if the item comes from a different
document with different layer names, a new layer with that name will be created.
If the preference is turned off, all items will be pasted on the layer that is currently
active.
Changing the stacking order of layers
Stacking on a layer works the same way it does on a “plain” page. Within a layer,
each item has its own position in the stacking order (the front-to-back positioning
of the items on the layer). When you draw items on a layer, new items are stacked
in front of existing items on that layer. You can use the Send to Back, Send
Backward, Bring to Front, and Bring Forward commands (Item menu) to change
the stacking order of items within a layer, but these commands do not move items
to different layers. However, everything on a front layer displays in front of
everything on a rear layer.
