Setting the Order of the Map Layers

The layer order in the map is the order in which the layers are drawn on the map. The bottom layer is drawn first, followed by the layer above, which is drawn on top of the first, and so on until the last layer, the one at the top of the layer stack, is drawn.
The order in which the layers are drawn on the map is important because, depending on the layer's transparency, images (raster layers) could, for example, obscure lower-positioned layers, just as polygon layers could obscure point or line layers.
To determine the map layer order:
Activate the tool by clicking the Layer ordering icon.
In the Layer ordering window, select the layer you want to move. You can select the layer by clicking its name or the arrow icon that appears to the left of the layer name.
Move the layer to the desired position and drop it. The map reflects the change in real time.
