front to back. So the target design above looks like this in the Page & Layer Gallery (on
page 178):

And you can change the stacking order of objects using the Page & Layer Gallery by
simply dragging them up and down. So for example in the target design, dragging the
blue circle in the Page & Layer Gallery, and dropping it above the green circle will bring
the blue circle to the front. The ARRANGE menu gives you four options:
• BRING TO FRONT ("Ctrl + F"): This makes the selected object the front object, and it will
hide any other object it covers.
• MOVE FORWARD ("Ctrl +Shift + F"): This moves the object up a level towards the front
rather like climbing a staircase one step at a time.
• MOVE BACKWARD ("Ctrl +Shift + B"): This moves the object one level towards the back.
• PUT TO BACK ("Ctrl + B"): This moves the object to the back.

These options move objects forwards and backwards within their layer. MOVE TO LAYER IN
FRONT and MOVE TO LAYER BEHIND lets you move objects between visible layers (invisible
layers are skipped when moving objects).
