 To see the X and Y coordinates of an  element, turn on the ruler guides from the top menu. The X and Y  coordinates will appear on the top right of each element when you move  your element. 

Moving an Element Forward or Backward 

 You can move an element forward and backward so that it appears on top of other elements or behind other elements on your mobile site.
