Layering of map layer objects

Is there a layering system (besides 'to front', 'to back')? I ran a session last year with 10 maps all stacked on top of each other and at the end of each round I'd send one to the back, revealing the new version of the map beneath. It was a neat way of changing reality for the players and was a kind of 'Lair action'. As you can imagine it was brutal to set up.  Is there a layering interface someone has come up with (ala Photoshop or any program with layers)? Perhaps a Handout or chat hack? Thanks!

There's two ways that come to mind: API: use TokenMod macros to either change the image on the map token, or pull a specific one to the front. You could have the token represent a character to make selection easy.  Free: have a rollable table token that contains all the maps, right click and choose the side you want. 
Yes! Thanks! I was planning a rollable token and the Faces api next time around. I was thinking a more easy (dumbass) graphical version might exist. Something just like the journal but where images on top are ... On top ...  All good though! The other methods you suggest are way easier than the way I did it last time 😂
