how to send pcolor contour to back when updating contour z value?

HI

I used to use contourf() and plot() with correct order so line plot is always on the top of contourf. Now I change to use pcolor(), when I updated Z value in contour by doing h.ZData=zg_new; the contour becomes on the top of line plot such that I cannot see lines anymore. so how to send contour to the back when updaing z data? see attached for the piocture.

I found below answer and add get(gca, 'Renderer') after h.ZData=zg_new; and it didn't work for me. Any suggestion? Thanks

If you have the handle of the object which represents the lines, you should be able to reorder the stack:

uistack(lineplothandle,'top')

Thanks DGM, it didn't work.
