How to make always on top ?

[SPlatten]

Is there a way in QML to specify that an image when visible will always be on top ?

I have images that represent when a data item is stale (stopped being updated for a specific period of time). These images will be made visible when the stale state is true, is there a way that along with setting visible to true I can also make sure that the image appears on top?

@SPlatten yes and no

there's z property which influences the stacking order of siblings. By default it's 0 so everything is drawn from top (qml file) to bottom.

You can set one z to 1 and it will be drawn on top of every sibling. but there is not automatic to top of stacking order.

If you end up with multiple siblings with z = 1 you end up with top to bottom order again.

Is there any other way of performing the same as raise in QML ?
