Is the z-order just based on the order of the list? I added an explicit z-order attached property and reordered the list on layout, that was the only way I could figure out how to explicitly specify it so there was no doubt. Is there another mechanism or is it all about the children list order?

We do something similar with Sheets. Also keep in mind that all containers are "layered", so to speak. Each container has an individual z-order that dictates the order in which sub-components are painted. So you don't necessarily need a dedicated container type to achieve what you describe.
