For example I have two pageItems
.pageItems[0] and .pageItems[1] on the same placement.
Of course, now .pageItems[0] is on the top of .pageItems[1] and this one covers that.
How can I change the order of them?

Use Layers.

It's a good solution, but I thought it had to be simpler as well. Since I can change the order of objects on the same layer in InDesign real time, I want to be able to do it also with a script.

In my example I have two pdf.
I placed the first and then the I placed second pdf, by scripting, of course. The order of my placement things is important for another my action in this job.
But finally for me is important to have the second thing as the background for the first.
What should I do?
