Relayering a control

[Marty Knapp]

What I do Pete is to make a list of all the controls but filter out any 
controls that are part of a group (by checking the owner). Then I take 
into account whether the object I want to move is a group or single 
control in the same way. Then use the relayer command - "relayer control 
A before control B." That way you won't move single controls in and out 
of other groups. But maybe there's a more elegant way?
