Arrange Objects (Send to Front, Send to Back, etc) in Power BI Webview

[BIyogi]

Currently I am unable to arrange objects like shapes and text boxes (Send to Front, Send to Back, etc). This makes it difficult to visually customize a dashboard or report to match our chosen look and feel. We are working with data that is only provided through the online gateway, therefore cannot create a desktop version of the PBIX and are forced to do design through the web interface. Please add the ability to arrange objects in the web view just like we can in the desktop version.

Is there any plans to add the "Send backwards, bring to front" options to Power BI Service?

I feel like this very much needs to be addressed. If we are using one data model to create multiple reports this is a huge gap in the ability to create reports in the service. Please address this ASAP.

OK. The work-around is to use the View -> "Selection Pane" window to organize the order of visual in the service. Use the up and down arrows when selecting a visual to change the order. The top most on the list is the top most in relation to the other visuals. Hope this helps anyone requiring this functionality.

Thanks @Joshua Howard

Upvoted. We want to use shapes, mostly unfilled rectangles, as elements to guide the user. But it's too painful right now.

Please Add This. I am trying to use unfilled rectangles to set off a group of tables, but can't because the rectangle keeps jumping to the front and the visuals become unclickable

Thanks for posting this - I agree with the others here. Clicking on the visual overrides where you have put things in the layer order. Looks terrible. Please fix.

It would actually be a good idea to be able to control this based on slicer or selection. Will help toggle tables/views on run-time or even give the appearance of drill down where it otherwise will not work.
