Pardon my ignorance (still learning Cocoa) but can you point to me
what class/method to use for that?


The exact details escape me now, but I seem to recall that since the order of -subviews was not completely deterministic depending on what the latest mucking about in the nib had been I resorted to something like

NSView** putTheseInFront = {
   _ibOverlay1,
   _ibTextField2,
   ...
   nil
}

while (*putTheseInFront)
{
   NSView* itsSuperview = [*putTheseInFront superview];
   [[*putTheseInFront retain] removeFromSuperview];
   [itsSuperview addSubview:*putTheseInFront)];
   putTheseInFront++;
}

Not exactly scalable, but it sorted the workflow at hand nicely with no apparent runtime delay.
