With the Production TOC Manager toolbar, you can choose a group of layers based on geometry type, grouping, or visibility and move all the layers in the group to the top or bottom of the table of contents. When the layers are moved, their visibility in the map changes. For instance, if you move all the point layers to the bottom of the table of contents, they are no longer visible because they are beneath the lines and polygons.
