-[NSWindow setLevel:] is documented to order the window to the front of the new level. (So, this would happen even if you were raising a window from a lower level.) "When a window enters a new level, it’s ordered in front of all its peers in that level." Have you tried changing your window's level during -applicationWillResignActive: instead? I believe that ordering your window behind the other window would work (after you've reduced its level), but you're not correctly identifying the target window. The window number list includes the menu bar and perhaps some other system windows. You can try to use the CGWindow API to identify the real window you want to order relative to, but you'll be making a lot of unsupported assumptions in any such heuristic.
