Wow, that is such a great tip! Thank you Wendy.

Might be a good addition, similar to this:

(Very clever people might think about trying this for other tabs in the TOC on their own, but if you only search for something specific to the labeling tab, you might not check the info under "Drawing Order" or read everything)

thanks for the request. I've made an edit to the Labeling basics topic to add the ctrl + click information
