    I have a hierarchy of custom Canvas Renders that looks like this:

    No matter what I do to my z-ordering the "Background" object is hiding the Bar 1 and Bar 2 renderers. If I make the Background color semi-transparent, I begin to see the Bars. I would like the Bar's to be "closer" to the camera and render "on top" of the background. but like I said, no amount of z-position fiddling results in that.

    Am I missing something about the new rendering system? It seems like this should work...

    It uses the hierarchy order. Drag the 2) Background before the 2) Bars in the hierarchy order.

    That did the trick! Thank you! Now I need to figure out how to do this programmatically...

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. SetAsFirstSibling - Move the transform to the start of the local transfrom list.
    3. SetAsLastSibling - Move the transform to the end of the local transfrom list.
    4. SetParent - Set the parent of the transform.
    5. SetSiblingIndex - Sets the sibling index.
    6.
