In interface builder, there are layout options to send to back or send to front any elements such as UIButton, UIImage, UILabel etc...
Now, I would like to do the same at runtime, programmatically.
Is there an easy way to do that?
I do not want to create different views, just update the z-axis.
There are a number of methods of UIView that allow you to modify the view hierarchy.
bringSubviewToFront:sendSubviewToBack:insertSubview:atIndex:insertSubview:aboveSubview:insertSubview:belowSubview:exchangeSubviewAtIndex:withSubviewAtIndex:Since your views are already inserted into your superview, you could easily call bringSubviewToFront: once for each view in whatever order you like.
