This confounded me for a while, until someone mentioned the solution–which was embarassingly easy.
After Effects is a computer (Windows / Mac ) software related to motion graphics (Animation ) and VFX (Visual Effects), developed by Adobe, video editors, graphics designers, and animators mostly use this software. If anyone wants to animate things like shape, text, images, and videos, this is the software. Tip 3 - Sequence Layers Keyframe Assistant. If you have a whole folder full of stills or clips that you need to bring into the timeline and set up so they play in order, the Sequence Layers Keyframe Assistant is your friend. There are actually two different ways you can invoke it: I'll show you both.
To reverse the order of your layers in your timeline, simply shift-select your desired layers starting at the bottom to the top. Cut them (CMD-X). Paste them back in. (CMD-V)
Done. The layers are in reversed order because After Effects stacks the layers in the order you select them. You can even select them in any arbitrary order then cut and re-paste them if you need to re-stack them.
Other handy layer-ordering tools:
Randomize layer order: LayerRandomShifter.jsx
