I've tried using front and behind in Indesign 2017 and this usually works, but lately this has been an issue. I can't get objects to move either behind or in front of other objects. I even try select the first object, etc. That never works. I try saving, reopening, restarting computer. Nothing. I can't get the object I need to move to the front and the other object to go to the back. The objects are not locked. I'm at a loss for what to do and why this seems to be happening more????

    Maybe the objects that stay in front are on another layer?

      I'm looking at my layers. One is a text layer and the other is an artwork layer.

      I'm trying to move the grouped footer object, which is showing as text box, behind the red line, which is showing as artwork. The artwork has a small indent curve box at the top that should go on top of the tooter object.


      I cannot see which object is selected on your screenshot, and I a afraid I do not understand what you mean by “which is showing as text box” (English is not my native language).

      I see objects that are on a green layer and a selected object which is on a red layer. Which object should at the top? The red line? Can you show a screenshot of your layer panel?
