I've used Inkscape for many years in Linux, and it's become my favorite art program. Recently, I got a Windows 10 laptop, and downloaded a new version of Inkscape to use within it. The new version has changed from 90 dpi to 96 dpi , and it forces a scaling of all the previous .svg files when they're loaded. I suspect this is causing or contributing to the sorting problem, but I'm still trying to find out if it occurs when creating files from scratch. Basically, I was having problems with resetting the order of sorting within the layer. For example, having a square under a circle within the same layer, clicking to select the square, then clicking the icon to raise it above the circle - didn't work.
When creating svg from scratch it should not matter that there used to be 90dpi as default in previous version (other than you need to remember when working with raster images ; import/export).
Try getting used to use hotkeys (Shift + Pg Up/Dn) when moving objects through layers.
Beyond the Basics Object sometimes don't raise or lower in the layer

HI.

Thank you. I'll try using the keyboard instead of panel icons next time it happens, and see if that will modify stacking within the layer.
