How to bring the first view in stack view to front in iOS?

Question

I have 2 views in stack view. The spacing value is -15, because I want the second view be under the first view with -15 spacing.
The spacing is ok but the first view is under the second one.
I tried setting the first view zPosition, but it didn't work.

firstViewlayer.zPosition = 1;

This does not sound like a good use of stack view. – matt Mar 18 '19 at 15:02 — matt, Mar 18 '19 at 15:02

There are several options.

you could ask the stackview to bring the coresponding view to front. stackview.bringSubviewToFront(firstView) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/1622541-bringsubviewtofront
or you add them completely manually. Fist add the as subviews. (the fist view last in this case) and the add them as addArrangedSubview (the fist view fist in this case)

But bringSubviewToFront is probably the fastest way

Thanks. I called bringSubviewToFront in cellForRowAtIndexPath. it didn't solve the problems. – Fattaneh Talebi Mar 19 '19 at 06:14
