you actually dont. swift does not have layering. What I do is create groups of objects and name the descriptively. and manually position them.

I have some text, which I want to be in front of a sphere. But when I try to make the text smaller, it automatically goes behind the sphere...how do I prevent that???

no real way......just gotta do it manually. one thing you can do is play with the pivot points to help quell this issue but other than that nothing
