You can change the stacking order of objects by using the Arrange commands or by
cutting and pasting. (The stacking order may not be obvious if the objects do not
overlap.) You can integrate an object into a group or clipping path by pasting the
object behind or in front of another object within a group or a clipping path. For
more information on clipping paths, see "Working with clipping paths" on page 203.
Using the Paste Behind and Paste In Front commands, you can quickly move an
object to a specific place in the stacking order—for example by selecting the object
behind which or in front of which you want to move the selection.
The Arrange and Paste in Front/Behind commands apply only to selections on the
same layer. To rearrange objects by changing their layering, see "Using layers" on
page 237.
