I've seen this happen *every* time in IB if the items in question are within an NSView. It was driving me crazy for a while until I figured out (completely by accident) that the order has to be reversed when you're setting up the NIB/XIB file for it to work correctly.

It's a real PITA because to see and edit the text which you want, eventually, to appear on top of the image, you constantly have to select the image/text and go the Layout menu and move it back and forward as required, and then remember to move the text back behind the image before you save and rebuild your project.


Or you could do what I did when I had a project this was an intense annoyance for what with the several-times-a-day client updates, which is to just programmatically reverse the order on load. That smoothed development considerably.
