[Qgis-user] layer order

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Carl, 

Glad it did the trick ;-) 

Yes - this option is kind of "hidden". But I also wonder how it got
enabled?

Usually, you want to first draw all polygon layers, then line layers on top, followed by points. This might not match the grouping defined in the Layers panel.

All of a sudden the order seems to be by date, meaning that layers that were added earlier overtake precedence over those added later, regardless of their order in the list.  I can find no "switch" that can change this problem.  This seems to apply whether the layer is a vector file or imported from a .csv file.  Any help would be appreciated.
