Why cant I move something backwards on Keynote iPad?

I have version 13.1.3 and this is a brand new iPad and I am trying to make a planner in Keynote and I want to have tabs but I cannot send them backwards. I originally selected all and tried to arrange it by going to the paintbrush tool-arrange-send backwards but it did nothing then I did the same thing but tried selecting them one at a time and still nothing. I watched a tutorial and they did it that way but I can't. Please help!

Greetings TBlondiSpider,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're unable to move an object backwards in Keynote on your iPad.


Have you checked if the object was locked? When an object is locked, moving the object is prevented. You can see how to work with layers, and how to unlock an object from the following support article: Layer, group, and lock objects in Keynote on iPad - Apple Support


Kind regards.
