Order of vector shapes

Hi there,
I have looked around and could not find information on this subject so I come here! I am trying to figure out if it is possible to change the order of vector shapes that are in the same layer. I saw mentioned somewhere that you select the shape and press the arrow keys to change the order, this does not work for me. Please help! Thanks for any replies!

From your post it looks like you already know that you need to select the shape 1st then use the arrows to raise or lower the shape. So I have no answer for you. Make sure the shape has the 'checkered' pattern.

...and once you see the checkered pattern (use the "select shape"/Q), you can also raise/lower the shape in the "Draw" menu (raise shape, lower shape, raise to front, lower to back).

Thanks Guys! I didn't know it was in the menu! Also I realized I had to press the arrow quite a bit to move the shape i wanted since there were so many shapes drawn between the two i wanted to switch!
