After doing some digging it seems that you can change the order by using the new selectNodes call. I found an old utility where in previous versions of Nuke the artist would copy the backdrop, delete it, and then paste it back.
After 6.3 it looks like we can just use selectNodes() on the backdrop and it will pull to the front. Thanks for the help! cheers, Brandon L.

I’ve had to deal with this myself, and basically just ended up creating the "bottom" one first and then resizing it after its contents were all created and laid out. -Nathan From: Brandon Harris<mailto:brandon.har...@reelfx.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 7:07 AM To: mailto:nuke-python@support.thefoundry.co.uk Subject: [Nuke-python] Controlling Backdrops via Python I haven't been able to google my way out of this one so I bring it here. I have a few scenes I'm bringing in in backdrops and I want to create a backdrop for all of those nodes and their backdrop. This is easy to do manually, but via code I'm having some trouble. When I create a new backdrop it ends up ontop of the existing backdrops and I am at a loss as how to bring them back to the front. I've tried selecting the backdrops, but that doesn't seem to take.
