Is it possible to move feature in front of another? If I have smaller polygon and I draw larger polygon over it, is there a way how to move the smaller one in front? Is it possible in QGIS or better in PyQGis?

  • Please edit the question to specify the data source format, since this strongly influences the options. – Vince Sep 06 '15 at 02:09

No. There is no option to change the Z order. AFAIK the elements are displayed in the order in the data source. So you can try to sort the elements by area e.g. order by clause in PostGIS, there is a sort plugin for shapefile in QGIS see: How to change the order of features in a shapefile? Another chance to separate the elements into two or more layers and set the right layer order in legend.

There isn't a move to front feature but if you go to the item list in the item tab, you can move the layers up or down the list to change the Z order.
