The layers in the Layers panel appear from top to
bottom as they appear in the document window. The first layer (top-level
layer) at the top of the Layers panel is the topmost layer in the
document window. The last layer in the Layers panel is the bottommost
layer in the document window. You can change the stacking order of the
layers in the Layers panel. When you change the order in the Layers
panel, the objects in the document window change too.
