addSubview beneath another UIView

Question

I would like to be able to addSubview beneath another already existing UIView, how can I do that? I haven't been able to find anything on this.

beneath, as in under (y-axis) or behind (z-axis)? – Krease Nov 15 '12 at 17:49 — Krease, Nov 15 '12 at 17:49

How about the UIView method: insertSubview:belowSubview:.
It's right there in the "Managing the View Hierarchy" section of the UIView docs.
