I don't have groups(layers are not grouped) and the above code is not working for me – drama Jun 12 '17 at 12:34
@drama - Can you specify whether you want the order changed in the Layers Panel or the Layer Order Panel? – Joseph Jun 12 '17 at 12:35
layers panel actually – drama Jun 12 '17 at 12:36
@drama - Can you please edit your question to include the code you used? The answer to the link in my previous comment should work :) – Joseph Jun 12 '17 at 12:39
ya sure here it is,
iface1.setActiveLayer(layer) iface1.legendInterface().moveLayer(layer, 0) – drama Jun 12 '17 at 12:44
@drama - Did you try using the code in this answer?: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/134284/how-to-move-layers-in-the-qgis-table-of-contents-via-pyqgis/134305#134305 – Joseph Jun 12 '17 at 12:51
I haven't actually coz I dont have any root layer..... should i try then too – drama Jun 12 '17 at 12:53
@drama - Try replacing alayer = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName("Layer2")[0] with alayer = iface.activeLayer() then use the code to move alayer. "root" is not a layer, it's the name given to the layers panel essentially. – Joseph Jun 12 '17 at 12:55

Most welcome, glad you got it to work! Yes, I think the wrong question has been chosen for a duplicate. Will flag this and ask a moderator to change it :) – Joseph Jun 13 '17 at 09:21
