How can I change the order of draw.io layers?

I created a draw.io with several layers. I assume they follow a specific order, as some layers overlap others. How do layers behave in draw.io and how can I arrange them?

Hi there. The arrangement of the layers in the layer panel follows a top-down approach. The lowest layer in the layer panel is in the background, the top layer is above all others. This order can be easily changed via drag and drop. There is a dedicated video to answer your question as well as a Youtube playlist that covers all available layer features, so be sure to check out our Youtube channel.
