How do I make a graphics layer appear above others

Hi, I'm looking to find out how to make a graphics layer appear above others after adding to map.

Let's say that I have two layers, each containing a circle at the same location and size, with the only difference being colour. The first layer will be hidden by the second, but at some point I want the first layer to hide the second instead.

// layerA appears over layerB because layerB is added earlier const layerB = new GraphicsLayer(); const layerA = new GraphicsLayer(); map.layers.add(layerB); map.layers.add(layerA); // graphic stuff const geometry = new Circle({ center: { x: 0, y: 0, }, radius: 100, radiusUnit: 'meters', }); const symbolA = new SimpleFillSymbol({ color: [0, 0, 0, 1], style: 'solid' outline: { color: [0, 0, 0, 0], }, }); const symbolB = symbolA.clone(); symbolB.g = 255; layerA.add(new Graphic({ geometry: geometry, symbol: symbolA, }); layerB.add(new Graphic({ geometry: geometry, symbol: symbolB, }); // TODO: Make layerB appear over layerA

Code might not be correct, but I wanted to lay out the form of the problem. If layerB gets put over layerA, then a green circle should appear instead of the black circle. How can I do this?

I sorted the layers on the map and it did what I wanted to do.
