Perhaps a "Render Order" column that indicates 4, 3, 2, 1 listing the explicit order the layers will be rendered? Then the Top = Bottom and Bottom = Top labels will make sense to people that need the numbering to see the direction/ordering of render.

Another thing that would help is to add a help icon to that component with a pop up with a quick explanation of why the ordering is like that. Same idea as on the workspace edit page where you specify workspace local configuration. That would work on top of some other more visual solution. The problem is many people don't click on those "?" help icons so they're a "bonus" help rather than something to rely on to convey critical information. Agreed, to be clearer I meant adding the help icon in addition to another visual cue as well, so that if someone wonders why it says top at the bottom and bottom at the top the help dialog could give them some insight.
