How to send objects in NIB files to front/back?

Question

How can I adjust the \"z\"-positions of objects (e.g. sending UIImageViews to the front/back) in the integrated interface builder in Xcode?

Answer 1

I know originally, this question was for Xcode 4, but it is linked from a Google search.

In Xcode 5, 6, and 7, you can still go to the Editor menu and select and move the items around.

But you can also rearrange by simply changing the order in the document outline.

They're in reverse z-index order: the top of the list is the back of the stack, the bottom of the list is the front. Simply drag your UI item to the bottom to bring it to the front.
