All apps I've seen that show layers still start at the top, even if the lowest
one represents the bottom (or rear-most) layer. Adding a new layer on top of
the stack inserts a row at the top and all the rest move down.
Tables are after all only a 'map' of your layers, as if someone had written
down a list of them on paper. I've seen a more literal alternative that shows
an actual stack of images layered in 3D with the 'current' layer exposed more
fully and the remainder more edge-on (hard to describe but easy as a visual
metaphor when you see it). Think a sort of vertical version of 'Cover Flow'.
