      After selecting "Order," you'll be presented with several options that allow you to adjust the layer position of the object you selected. You can choose from the following layering options: - **Bring to Front**: This option moves the selected object to the very top of the stacking order, placing it above all other elements on the slide. This is useful if you want to make sure the object is always visible, regardless of other objects' positions - **Bring Forward**: If you want to move the selected object up by just one layer, select this option. It shifts the object one level higher in the stacking order, making it more prominent but not necessarily the topmost object - **Send Backward**: This option moves the selected object down by one layer, allowing other objects to sit on top of it. It's useful for adjusting the positioning without completely hiding the object - **Send to Back**: If you want to place the selected object behind all other elements on the slide, this option will move it to the bottom of the stacking order. This is helpful if you want the object to remain present but not interfere with the more important elements in the foreground
