Bring selection to front or back of other objects

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
---> Brush and images don't fit too well, overlapping objects and not easy to make when the brush stroke doesn't want to go beneath the image. ---> Certain colour of brushes tend to be over other colours no matter the order of stroke

Describe the solution you'd like
Fix the above mentioned issues

Additional context
Note : Magenta and yellow don't go together, magenta always stays on top of yellow (It's fine when drawing them on top of each other, but when they are moved over each other via selection tool, one colour dominates the other always)

Windows 10 (Rnote 0.13.1 dev version (fixes pen sounds to work on windows) - https://github.com/Doublonmousse/rnote/actions/runs/17745319355)

I'm considering this will be a natural extension of #1253.

Brush and images don't fit too well, overlapping objects and not easy to make when the brush stroke doesn't want to go beneath the image.

See https://github.com/flxzt/rnote/issues/895

Can't repro this part. If done with the same brush settings, moving a selection will put it over the rest of the strokes of the same kind.

If you do have marker and solid brush styles, the marker is underneath solid strokes though (on purpose)

Have you used MS Powerpoint before, which has 2 options namely Bring to front, send to back ? I am telling like that, not like layers.

Yes. That's a separate issue from layers. I meant it in the sense that this feature will have to interact with the internal layers/machinery that determines the order elements are rendered on top of each other, not that this would need you to use layers to do so as a user.

What I don't get/can't reproduce is the magenta staying on top of yellow here

It was a magenta shape and yellow brush
