I.e. in a vertical layout, a rectangle at Y=0 and another just south of it at Y=100, the first should be at Z=0 (top in layer sidebar) and the second southernmost at Z=1 (bottom in layer sidebar.)

Addendum: internally I believe the Z values are actually inverse. I.e. Z=0 is behind Z=1, like in HTML, so technically what mechanic I'd prefer is more accurately described with this example: Y=0⇒Z=0, Y=100⇒Z=-1, Y=200⇒Z=-2, ...
