I personally care about the ordering in code and not markup. (I’m using it to temporarily bring active objects forward.)
Yes. z-order is a CSS property and it’s supported in JS. I did not realize that depth was in UIComponent I thought it was a DisplayObject property. That makes this much harder… :-( I’ll try to add this to SimpleCSSStyles.
