I've worked with SC for 18 mo's-I'm finished with most development/testing except this problem.

V-1481 (Same with 1493)
Cascading Charts & Spreadsheets.
Problem arose on final #50 Chart/Spreadsheet,
after the last 4 added studies, 2 of which pull data from various substudies, including some studies in this Chart #50's columns U,X,AC & Studies results.

Crucial Subgraphs of spreadsheet columns were displaying above C. background ID37 on #50 Main Price graph for a month-- are now overwritten by c.backgrnd ID37 (set to "Draw underneath main price graph"-unchanged) that works OK with respect to Main graph & regular (non-spreadsheet) studies.

ie: Nothing changed but the last 4 added studies.
I double-checked the spreadsheet, study-ID7, remains NOT set to draw underneath.

I suspect the added 2 studies that sum sub-studies, are causing SC to lose that spreadsheet ID7 graphs WERE prior (above) the Colored background (more important).
I know spreadsheets computations are lowest precedence.

Subject Colored BckGround ID37 still correctly draws under the Main Price Graph AND under normal Studies not displayed directly from Spreadsheet ID7 columns.

How can I Force ID7 to the top-above Colored background. I tried the

We can only refer you to this section here for how to control the study display order:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ChartStudies.html#StudyDisplayOrder


You should also be aware of the following information:

Adjusting the order of how the studies are listed to control the calculation precedence/order, can affect their display order. So it might be hard to achieve what you need.

I tried more.. your're right... very difficult to isolate the display sequence when calculation precedence must "take precedence" over display.

My work-around was Multiply background color substudy by 4000 and display with Transparent Fill Rectangle to Zero.

Consider someday adding a generally useful option setting like:

1) to Colored Background: Transparent
or
2) to Spreadsheet Studies (important columns K-AD): Display on Top
