Rearrange Objects Dialog Box

When values are assigned to a data set, each object overwrites any previous values so the last object that sets the value at any particular location is the one that determines the value at that location. (See Assigning Values to Data Sets.) The Rearrange Objects dialog box can be used to change the order of the objects. To display the Rearrange Objects dialog box, select Object|Edit|Rearrange Objects... All of the objects will be listed in order in the table in the dialog box. The objects that are selected will be shown in bold type. To change the order of the objects, click to the left of an object and drag with the mouse to move the object to a new position in the table. Alternatively, edit the number listed for an object in the "New Position" column. Objects can be renamed in this dialog box too. To rename an object, type its new name in the table. The radio buttons at the bottom of the dialog box can be used to determine which objects are listed in the dialog box.

The order of the objects can also be changed without using the Rearrange Objects dialog box. The user can select one or more objects in the main window, right click and select To Front, To Back, Forward One, or Back One from the popup menu.
