"Paste below" threshold line in Layers
Pasting anything into an XD file automatically places that object at the top of the hierarchy. Not a big deal, but for files that have "always on top" elements (such as pinned menu bars), this has you constantly having to move things up/down to correct the stacking order.
What I'm suggesting is a line/bar that you could pull down in the Layers pane that would serve as the "paste below" threshold - all pasted objects would appear just below that line until moved elsewhere.

Self-bumping this in the hopes that it gets attention. I am SO TIRED of moving my top menu elements to the top of the hierarchy! What I propose above is low-lift, no-nonsense feature that will help with static/top-most elements in all kind of applications.
A different way of helping deal with the problem would be to always paste *just* above the selection (if nothing is selected, it goes at the top). All I know for sure is that the current "always paste on the very top" behavior is a time suck and a nuisance.
