  3. Right-click and do one of the following:
    • Choose Bring to Front to move the selected element to the top of the draw order.
    • Choose Send to Back to move the selected element to the bottom of the draw order.
    • Choose Bring Forward to move the selected element up one position in the draw order.
    • Choose Send Backward to move the selected element down one position in the draw order.
