Thanks Kyle
That's what I thought before I went into it to start with, but I found posts from people who appeared to be using it on layer backed views, and the only problem they said they were having was that it didn't animate the changes to the z order. I wonder if things are different on iOS and maybe they were talking about UIViews...
Oh well, I'll just have to sort the subviews array.
Regards
Gideon

I want to bring one of them in front of the others, so I set the zPosition of the others to a zPosition of 1 and the one I want in front to a zPosition of 2. Nothing happens - the one I want in front is still drawn behind the other ones. While I could reorder the subviews in the array, I really don't want to do that if I don't have to - I would rather use the zPosition.
