Changing the Order of Nested Effects
When you use advanced keyframes with nested effects, you can change the order of nested effects by manipulating the Nesting Priority icons that appear in the Effect Editor.
If the effect you are editing has nested tracks, the effect icon and name of each nested effect appears in the Effect Editor. A Nesting Priority icon appears in line with each effect name. Click this icon, and drag it to a new position to reorder the effects.
Nesting Priority icon
To change the order of nested effects:
1.  Click the Nesting Priority icon of the effect you want to move.
The pointer changes to a hand, and a white outline appears around the selected effect.
2.  Drag the outline above the effect you want to have nested inside the selected effect, or below the effect inside which you want the selected effect to nest.
3.  Release the mouse button.
The effects move to their new locations, and the Effect Editor display changes to reflect the new nesting.
Note the following considerations about the display and manipulation of nested effects:
  You can change the nesting order only when the nested effects have the same number of internal tracks.
  The Effect Editor does not display layered components of a nested effect.
  If there is no effect on the foreground track (V1.2, for example), then the Effect Editor looks for a nested effect on the next track stepping in (V1.3, V1.4, and so forth). The Effect Editor identifies the first track with an effect as the foreground track. Effects on subsequent tracks are identified as part of the nested effect.
  The Effect Editor does not display nested effects when the foreground track has an add edit.
