When this button is selected, the order in which the layers are listed corresponds to the order in which the layers are visually stacked in the Map Viewview. To test how the drawing order works, you will reorder the layers.

...

You will notice that, in the Map Viewview, the COH_HISTORIC_DISTRICTS layer is now drawn in on top of the COH_HISTORIC_SITESLANDMARKS layer, meaning that historic sites are only visible in areas not covered by a historic district. It is possible to add transparency to the historic district layer or to symbolize it with a bold outline and a hollow fill, but, in general, it is best to have polygon layers at the bottom of the drawing order, so we will return the layers to their previous order.

...

  1. Uncheck the Major_Rivers layer to turn off its visibility in the map Map view.
  2. Check the Major_Rivers layer to turn its visibility back on in the map Map view.
