Preview opening behind Finder

When I double click an image open from Finder, Preview launches, but jumps behind the Finder window. Any way to reverse this (make Preview open in front)?

Thanks!

This is just a wild guess, but if somehow your system is set to launch on a single-click (perhaps available via the "simple Finder" setting) or your mouse clicking is "stuttering", an extra mouse click could be selecting a Finder object while Preview is launching.

I'd use the "Keyboard & Mouse" System Preference panel to try different settings for "Double-Click Speed".
