To change the order of layers and layer groups, do any of the following:

• Drag the layer or group up or down in the Layers panel. Release the mouse button when you see a highlighted line at the position where you want to place the selected layer or group.
• To move a layer into a group, drag a layer to the group folder . If the group is closed, the layer is placed at the bottom of the group.
• Select a layer or group, choose Layer > Arrange, and choose a command from the submenu. If your selected item is in a group, the command applies to the stacking order within the group. If the selected item is not in a group, the command applies to the stacking order within the Layers panel.
• To reverse the order of selected layers, choose Layer > Arrange > Reverse. These options appear dimmed if you do not have at least two layers selected.

By definition, the background layer is always at the bottom of the stacking order. Therefore, the Send To Back command places the selected item directly above the background layer.

You can quickly make a new layer group by clicking on the button that looks like a folder at the bottom of the Layers palette. (BTW the button there that looks like a sheet of paper with the corner folded in makes a new layer.) Layer groups are used for organizing layers in folders that have large numbers of layers.
