    It should not really matter if you have used the Mesh-Tool.
    Works fine here with Object/Arrange.

    thanks for responding! i have tried moving each shape in each layer,but its not creating the effect i want.im recreating an image of orchids/birds of paradise and leaves so im wanting to build the picture and arrange so that each petal/leaf is either in front or behind as appropriate and not overlapping if you get me??and yes,just been selecting one layer at a time aswell.
    thanks again.
