I just tried the sequence Sandy described (make button, make locked field on
top, send field farther back, bring button closer).  I then clicked on the
button and contrary to Sandy's experience it worked just fine.

I suspect the problem is that buttons and fields can be intermixed.  I.e.,
field 1 can be between button 1 and button 2 (between layers, that is).  So you
are sending the field behind another field or button, but not behind the button
you're interested in.  The
solution is to hold down the shift key when sending something farther or
bringing it closer.  This sends it ALL the way back or ALL the way forward.
