# Changing the display order of pages

Page elements can be **placed in front of or behind** other elements on the page. To control which element appears on top, you need to adjust the **display order**.

### Tip

Use the **Elements window** to check and manage the current display order of page elements. The list reflects the stacking order from background to foreground.

***

## How to Change the Display Order of Page Elements

### Step 1: Select the Elements

Select the page elements for which you want to change the display order. (Refer to *Selecting Page Elements* for help.)

### Step 2: Adjust the Order

Go to **Order** on the **Elements menu** and choose one of the following options:

| Menu Item          | Function                                                  |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Bring to Front** | Place the selected elements at the top (foreground).      |
| **Bring Forward**  | Move the selected elements one layer closer to the front. |
| **Send to Back**   | Place the selected elements at the bottom (background).   |
| **Send Backward**  | Move the selected elements one layer further to the back. |

## Alternative Method: Using the Elements Window

1. Ensure the **Elements window** is visible.
2. Click and hold the element in the Elements list.
3. **Drag and drop** the element to a new position in the list to adjust its display order.
4. Release the mouse button to confirm the new order.

### Important Notes

* **Flash elements** and **web page elements** (except those running in screenshot mode) are **always placed in front** of other page elements, regardless of the specified display order.
* If a page element does **not overlap** with other elements, adjusting its order (e.g., "Bring Forward") may have **no visible effect**.
* If you select **multiple elements**, display order adjustments will be applied **individually** to each selected element.
