Wish Better Z-Order management, within the designer!

I am building a complex "layered" layout, and find myself sometimes wishing for a "Bring forward" and a "Send Back " function, as adition to the existing "Send TO back" and "Bring TO front" ones.
Also, they should also be accessible through the context menu of the Views List in the left pane, and not only on the WYSIWYG Pane...

[EDIT] I just found out that, moving the views order in the Views List, changes the z order in relation to Overlapping views, like in layers, which is great... It would be nice just to have some kind of visual ref, in order to know to which "layer" a view currently belongs to

This is the way to manage the Z order.

I have managed to make sense of it, the lowest z-order views, those which are in the furthest back, are listed first.

You can see the layer in the views tree.
This is true for Different parent views...
Views with the same parent are not indented according to their z-order!

In my case, all views belong to the same parent!
