New layers go under

[evtonic3 452]

Is there a way to make it default for anything added,  created, copied, gets the layer under the previous instead of on top? It has always confused me that it goes on top.

No.

You can use the Insert Behind Selection button but that button is not sticky

It might help to avoid the confusiion if you consider the screen like a canvas you're painting on. Paint/draw a new object. Now paint/draw another. If the two objects overlap, the secondone you painted is on top of the first one.

The default layer ordering mimics this real-world behavior.
