Please allow all drawing tools an option to render behind the charts bars.

a. Reason: It makes the view less cluttered when using larger line widths and allows your visual focus to remain with what price is doing.

  b. The rectangle and extended rectangle tools already draw behind the bars so Sierra Chart appears to already have this ability.

  c. Perhaps a drawing 'layer' functionality could be added to make this possible?

    i. Right click the drawing and select > Move to back, bring forward, etc.

    ii. This would make selecting a specific drawing more user friendly.

      1) For example: if I'm trying to select a line drawn over top of an extended rectangle and I attempt to click to move the line, the rectangle is selected without the numbers popping up to give me a choice to select the line.

      2) If I could send the rectangle to the bottom layer, when clicking a line drawn over it, it would select the line first because it was drawn last and is on the 'top layer'.

It would be great if in addition to the rectangle and extended rectangle, the Retracement, OHLC Ray, & Line Tools also allowed this functionality.
