# studio-layer-order-outside-start

> The layer order is set outside a *match starts* row.

| Kind | Studio problem |
| Reported by | Studio validation: the Problems panel, Play, Publish and the MCP `validate` tool |
| Code in the Studio | `layer-order-outside-start` |

The layer order is fixed for the whole match, so the engine accepts it only while the match starts.

## Fix

- Move _set the layer order_ into a _match starts_ row.
