<p>Hi Carl,</p>
<p>Glad it did the trick ;-)</p>
<p>Yes - this option is kind of "hidden". But I also wonder how it got enabled?</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Hi Carl,<!-- o ignored --></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">It might be - that by accident - you enabled the overwriting of the layer order. There is a separate "Layer Order Panel" that might be visible or not. It has a checkbox with which you can toggle which panel has preference: the "Layers" or the "Layer Order" panel.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Reasoning behind this separation: In some more complex projects it might be desirable to structure layers into groups (hierarchically) by topics while this might contradict the actual layer order (which is a flat list). 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.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">So go to "View" --> "Panels" --> "Layer Order" and see if you enabled the "Control rendering order" checkbox. If yes, deactivate and your layers should be ordered like defined in the "Layers" panel.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Hope this helps,<!-- o ignored --></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Up until now the layers listed were displayed in the map in a hierarchy defined by their position in the list, i.e. the one above in the list would overwrite the symbols of one below when the coordinates were the same. 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.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>
