"Make Editable" allows you to change the shape of the text box - allowing you to shape text around anything.
I have no requirement to change the layering so I'm not sure where the need to bring things to the front has come from.
In defence of the more complex solution: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8292825 this allows you to cut a void in the text-box... but for simply flowing text around an image which doesn't sit right in the middle of the text-box; "Make Editable" is much quicker and simpler.
I posted this in case others came along later and wasted time on an over-complex solution, that's all :o/
Right-click and choose "Make Editable"
( There is a much more complex answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8292825 ... but this solution ☝️ seems 100% easier!? )
Right-click and choose "Make Editable"
Im trying to wrap text just now, you suggest that by only right clicking creates a text wrap, well that is not correct, so what is the full set of stages for this to work?
for simply flowing text around an image which doesn't sit right in the middle of the text-box; "Make Editable" is much quicker and simpler.
But you have not given any information on how this works!
At present I create 4 text boxes one placed each side of the image, top, bottom, left, right job done in 15 seconds
So how do you use your solution that's 100% easier ?
Right-click and choose Bring to Front.
(Make Editable automatically brings the selected object to the front, and I think that's why your method worked for you.)

Make editable does not move the object to the front, make editable allows the form of a shape or text box to be changed.
