How can I get a bitmap to appear "behind" other layer items?
In this case it's for tracing the imported bitmap.
Modify->Draw Order->Move To Back does not seem to be doing it.
Is there a way?

Re: Get DrawOrder to work for a bitmap
Your link refers to reorder - send to back should work with this tool:

Re: Get DrawOrder to work for a bitmap
Remind that there is no drawing order based on layers.
Do not think of CAD layers as stacked planes to draw on, they are listed in alphanumerical order.
Layers are generally intended to control drawing attributes of the entities that live on them.
The drawing order is a property defined per drawing entity.
MB simply sets the drawing order of the selected items to one less than what already exist ...
... What can be negative in the current session.
On save/reload everything may get re-ordered 'as is' from zero and sequentially upwards.
MF sets the drawing order of the selected items to one higher than what already exist.
The drawing order of a newly added entity is also one higher than what already exist.
Modification tools may preserve the drawing order or they may replace the affected entity(ies) by new ones.
This would explain most things concerning the drawing order of entities.
Hoping that it may shed some insights on the functionality.

Additional consider to fade (60%?) the bitmap within the Property Editor and lock the bitmap layer during the manualy tracing process. Could make things easier.

Re: Get DrawOrder to work for a bitmap
Even with Modify->Draw Order->Move to back,
the bitmap moves forward as soon as I mouse over it, frustrating the attempt to trace the bitmap.
See attached qcad file.
And a potential solution: if I "lock" the bitmap layer it gets better. Would anyone be interested in adding that tip to the documentation for qCAD?
(Ah, I see @Husky suggested just that).
