Yes and no; Yes- if you select an object that is "behind" another object on the same layer, then move it ever so slightly, then undo the move, it will be re-drawn as if over the other object. In no way is it permanent, but for an isolated instance, it works.
No- There is no way to manipulate the draw order of objects in the same layer. If you apply the above "trick" it will not stay that way when the table is reopened. you must resign yourself to separating all objects that would be on the same layer "plane" into individual tables. I created a logo once that needed 6 layers to get everything on top of everything else just the way I wanted it.

Is there a way to control the display of these objects so that I can display certain text features in front of others. An example would be displaying a text font that contains a rectangle and then displaying text on top of that rectangle. Right now, it seems random. Sometimes the text displays on top of the rectangle and sometimes the rectangle hides the text. I have tried to do the Inserts in the order in which I want the text to display but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
