Multi-panel dock

I have four panels on a form and I want them to be docked in a certain order.
No matter if I do it in code or the designer, it does not dock them like I
want. For example, I set Panel1 dock to Top so that it is docked to the top
of the form. I then set Panel2, Panel3, and Panel4 to Top. I would expect
them to be Docked to each other in this order: Panel1, Panel2, Panel3, and
Panel4 from top to bottom, however, it docks them Panel2, Panel3, Panel4,
Panel1 from top to bottom. Any ideas why that is, or how I can correct this?

Thanks

What you have to do is "Bring to Front", and "Send to Back" on the panel.

Kinda like setting the order of which is created first.

This has to be in design stage.

Click on the Panel
Click in the menu "Format", then "Order".

I ran into the same thing. I think they could do some improvement in this
area, but once u get it set up...u never really care about the first
setup headaches :)
