The is no inherent order to backgrounds in a stack, just the cards. You 
need to make the card you want to appear first be the first card of the 
stack. To do this, cut the card and go to the first card of the stack and 
do paste card; this will make it the second card. Now cut the first card 
and paste it wherever it goes. If your need to reorder the stack is more 
complicated than this, you may want to add a background field for sequence 
number; after entering the correct sequence numbers, sort the cards on 
this field. Hope this helps.
