You're right John. Personally, I think the default order should be for ma=
rkers to be in front of errorbars, but on occasions I've wanted it the ot=
her way (the current implementation). I like your bouyancy idea. If you'r=
e after a different name, how about the more conventional "z-order".

No preference.

zorder or layer
