How do I put the skin on the Bottom position at the top of On Desktop position?
Sorry if you can't understand, English is not my first language

If multiple skins are in the "On Desktop" position, you can control what order they are in relative to each other with the LoadOrder option in Rainmeter.ini.

No, only one skin is On Desktop position

Yeah, I don't understand the issue I'm afraid.

How do I put the skin on the Bottom position at the top of On Desktop position?

type WIN and R key on the keyboard to open the run command.
run: %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Shows Desktop.lnk
type WIN and R key on the keyboard again. run nothing.

Yeah, I don't understand the issue I'm afraid.

i think the problem is that both "On Desktop" and "Bottom" share the same z-position. so load order is what matters here.

an inconsistency is that as soon as you click "Show Desktop", skins with z-order "Bottom" will be positioned over "On Desktop" skins, overriding the the load order.

the five different settings in AlwaysOnTop= are a little confusing when in "reality" there are only three four z-positions.

In my view, the only reason to ever use "Bottom" is if you want the skin to be hidden when you use "Show Desktop" / Win-D. Other than that, I think Bottom and On Desktop are interchangeable. I'd be tempted to use all of one or the other depending on what you want to happen with "Show Desktop", so that LoadOrder is properly evaluated for all of them.
