[PD] unexpected behaviour of overlapping guis

not necessarily. guis are overlapped in order of creation only. if you  
want to change the order, do a delete+undo, and the restored object will  
be on top of all others, as it is then the newest one.

so far I know there is no command to control the "topness" or "botomness"  
of guis (not like in max/msp).


in case you work with guis, you might find this useful:
