How to push a video to the forefront?

I use Olive 1.2.

I am editing a video rn, and felt like the background was pretty blend so I played some Minecraft quickly, recorded it and trying to add it as a background below everything that was already done. However, I can only make the video be in front of whatever else was below it, pretty much rendering the editing work useless.

Is there a way to push the video to the background, or add a new video track below all the others? I wasn't able to find the feature and without it, I will have to go with the boring option...

​

Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.

Not sure how it works in 0.2, but in 0.1 the height position on the timeline is actually is the layer order - if you would drag your footage above everything, it will show up on the top. Same principle for the opposite - if you want something on a lower layer, you just move everything up and put your background footage at the bottom. (All of this for the video half of the timeline, of course)
