Hello Michael,
In the ArcGIS.com Map Viewer under details you can hover your mouse over an item, click on the arrow and then get the option to move the layer up or down.
If you are publishing a hosted feature service from ArcMap, the layers come in in the order they are published in. If each layer is a service from your ArcGIS Server, you should have the option above to move the layers up and down. Can you creating a new map, adding content, then trying to move multiple layers up and down?
Unfortunately, you can't order layers any way you want. Some layers are drawn as graphics by the browser, so they're always on top. Map Notes, shapefiles and CSVs added to the map, feature services all get drawn by the browser and will display over map services and wms services. You can order all the 'graphic layers' within the group of layers drawn by the browser and order the map services within the group of map services.
Thanks,
Mike
Is there a way to tell which layers will be drawn by the browser as graphics?
there's no way to tell by looking at the map; you need to know the source of the layer. The list of layer types I posted above are those that draw as graphics.

Hmmm... still having trouble with this. I am using a map service and I cannot move it down in the list in my ArcGIS Online Table of Contents. Here's the deal, when I add the service to my web map with the service URL of .../RecordDrawings/MapServer I can reorder the service in the map BUT the service gets "nested" (not sure what the right term is) and looks like this:
I want to avoid that mainly for cosmetic reasons. But when I add the same service with an added "/0" at the end (like this: .../RecordDrawings/MapServer/0) then the "nested" thing doesn't happen (which I like) but then I can't reorder it in my ArcGIS Online TOC. The "Move up" & "Move down" functionality disappears.
What is the difference between the service with the "/0" and the service without it? And why does that play a role in ordering? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Greatly confused (by something that's probably pretty simple to understand.)
