Overlapping lines, change display order

On a Line and Clustered Column Chart, I have 2 lines that mostly overlap.  I want to bring one line to the front and overlap the other.  I've tried to change the ordering in the 'Line Values' section...

Thank you for your response, I thought I posted this image earlier.

 

Here is an example of the chart I am working with.  I want the red line to be more prominant than the yellow line.I want the red line to overlap the yellow line. I dont really want to change the line weight or shape of the line.  Is it possible to make that change?

I might be mistaken, but I believe you can do this by re-ordering the source values in the Visualizations pane.

    For the chart shown.  Changing the order in the visualization window did not change the ordering.  I tried using the June '19 update of Power BI.

      Huh. When I swap them, they swap colors and which one shows up better on top.

       

      You may be able to go into Shapes>Customize Series ON> turn the line style of your yellow line to dashed or dotted to emphasize it's less important then.  Or increase the stroke width of the red line by 1.  It's not a lot, but it will make it pop.

        Cmcmahan ,

         

        Trying your method out, this does not seem to work.

        Have you had any luck finding other solutions? I'm having the same exact problem with the line charts.
