The order of animation layers in the Animation Layer editor stack is important because it can affect how the result animation is calculated. See Result animation.

To reorder layers:

1. Select the animation layer you want to reorder.
2. Do one of the following:

• Drag the animation layer to a new location in the stack.
  Note

  Using this method, you can reorder and parent layers at the same time.

  As you drag, a black line or a rectangular outline appears to indicate where the layer will be placed. If the layer will be placed between two layers, a single black line appears. If the layer will be parented, a rectangular outline displays around the layer that will become its parent.

• Click the Move selection up in list and Move selection down in list buttons to move the layer within the stack, or within its own layer hierarchy.
