Why not use [NSApp orderedDocuments]?

According to Apple's website:

Returns a zero-based array of document objects, where the position of a document in the array is based on the front-to-back ordering of its associated window.

When I bring my preferences window forward, it puts my document behind (as expected). However, I want my pref window to access the "current" document, which I guess is defined as the top most window that has a document associated with it. [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] currentDocument] doesn't work because it returns the document associated with the main window, which is my preference window (so returns nil).

I didn't see any way to go through the window list to determine this. It looks like NSApplication has a "-windows" call that returns an array of windows, but it didn't say that it was ordered in any way. I see that I can change a window order (-orderBack, - level, etc) of a particular window, but not how to figure out what window is "below" any particular one…

Thanks!
