Question
I would like to put two blocks in one location in a Simulink model (on top of each other). Currently I can do this, but I would like to control which Simulink block is on top.

In Simulink, blocks are shown in alphanumeric order based on their name. Thus, to control which one is on top, make sure it comes first in alphanumeric order.
