Change stack order action
Use the Change stack order action to change the stack order value or remove or move an element towards the bottom of the stack.
The Change stack order action only applies to an image control with multiple images. It does not apply to an Image control with a single image.
When you use the Change stack order action and update the stack order, the images are reordered accordingly. For example, if you have 5 images and set the stack order to 2,4,5, image 2 appears at the bottom, then image 4 and image 5 at the top. Images 1 and 3 do not appear.
