MORE INFORMATION
For a drawing object or graphic, its "z-order" is its position in a stack
of graphics using a three-dimensional coordinate system. In the three-dimensional coordinate system, the x-axis and y-axis represent the
horizontal and vertical positions, while the z-axis represents the depth.
For example, if you have multiple graphics in the same location in the x-axis and y-axis, the z-order designates which graphic is positioned on
top, and which is on the bottom.
