Re-order Track Layers in CLPD8

First and foremost, I doubt there is a method to have multiple Title Slide tracks in CLPD8, but if there is, I would love to know.

Is there a method to re-organize the way the PiP and Title Slide tracks are stacked within the project so that it would look like the list below?

Master Video Track
PiP Track 1
PiP Track 2
PiP Track 3 (Semi-transparent Background Object where the Text from Title Slide Track 1 will appear)
Title Slide Track 1 (Text with Animation: Scroll Left)
PiP Track 4 (PiP object in Top Right Corner covering the portion where the Scroll Left animated text will appear)
PiP Track 5 (PiP object in Top Left Corner covering the portion where the Scroll Left animated text will disappear into)
Title Slide Track 2 (non-animated Text that will appear on top of the objects in PiP Tracks 4 and 5)
Audio Track

Each of the PiP objects are designed to cover various portions of the video, and I'm attempting to make a scroll-bar type effect via the Title Slide text that isn't visible across the entire screen, but portions of it hidden under the objects in PiP Tracks 4 and 5. Then another Title Slide text will be placed over the objects in PiP Tracks 4 and 5, hence the need for a second Title Slide Track.

To sum up my desired objective:
Is it possible to have some Title Slide objects appear above certain PiP Track objects, while others appear underneath it?

I've attempted this by incorporating the objects from PiP Track 4 and 5 directly into the Title Slide and re-ordering it via the list on the Animation options menu within the "Modify Title Slide" feature. It does work, but am wondering if there is a more elegant way to do it (such as the method I proposed above).

Yes. Download a free 30 day trial of PD10.
A familiar, but completely different editor, where elegant track re-ordering lies within.
