They are not displayed in the order they are created. The lack of Z-order control means I cannot do something as simple as displaying a line glyph on top of a `BoxAnnotation`. Instead I have to resort to using certain colors and alpha values.\r\n\r\nI think other annotations are impacted too. For example, how do I constrain a `Label` to only appear within the plot window? I haven't figured this out and am guessing it's related to the display layers.\r\n\r\nYes, I've read #696 and it shouldn't have been closed. [This commit](https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/pull/1484/commits/0f95a36204cb3da7504357c228c5cdba24b1e526) is the only one I see related to Z order and it did not expose control the user. \r\n\r\n"}}
