I run into this problem often. I have several elements in a graphic and I want to send one element to the back. I select the element, and click "send to back" or "backward". The element stays in front.
Is this a glitch or am I missing something?
 
Sounds like you may be using layers... or are these grouped objects?
 
You're using layers without realizing it, plain and simple. Happened to me all the time - ALL THE TIME - until I started using the object manager docker window. If you draw in certain spots on the page or outside of the page layout, Corel will often start a new layer on your behalf (no idea why).

Look very carefully and you will likely see that some of your objects are on master guides, master page, or master grid, or master desktop. To corect this in a file you're working on, zoom out and select everything. Cut everything onto the clipboard, then repaste it without doing anything. All objects will now be on the same layer again.
 
This happens to me once in a while. My quick fix is to click on -View- then select -Simple wire frame-, then go back and click it back to -Enhanced-. Hope this will help. This is my first post, and I love the forums.
