I have a situation where I have several groups inside a 'main' group. I 
need to enable the user to import an image - for instance -  and be 
able to place it at a precise layer. I've been trying to set the 
'relayerGroupedControls' property to true, and then setting the layer 
properties accordingly. That, however, never works. I either end up 
with the image OUTSIDE the main group (if I try to put it on the top or 
bottom-most layer) or inside one of the subgroups - if I choose any 
other layer in between.

I will try your technique - many thanks for the suggestion!

Wouldn't all that be a lot easier if we could just have a command that 
said 'send x backward' or 'bring x forward'?

Kind Regards,
