Jason,

First, please update your IDV.

I am a little confused by your question. Is this a time stamp associated with
your data?

Generally you manipulate those via the IDV Dashboard, Displays Tab, Edit ->
Properties menu item.

And when you mean "underneath", you mean below in the vertical sense, or it is
being obscured by another label in the the 3D sense. I don't know if
"underneath" is in the Y axis or the Z axis.

The order of the items in the legend and therefore the display list is dependent
on when the data are loaded and first displayed.  From a bundle, that's not
guaranteed to be the same every time.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
