Changing the order of items in a list

Items are displayed on the map in the following order: placemarks are displayed “higher” than lines and may cover them. Likewise, lines are higher than polygons.

You can change the order in which items are displayed within every category.

To do this, select the item from the list and use the appropriate keyboard shortcut:

Keyboard shortcuts Moving an item
Ctrl + Shift + ↑ above all items
Ctrl + Shift + ↓ below all items
Ctrl + ↑ one item higher
Ctrl + ↑ one item lower

For example, in the drawing on the left, polygon 1 displays above polygon 2, but this order is reversed in the drawing on the right:

Note.

You can also drag an item (placemark, line or polygon) to the appropriate position in the item list.
