Indexes indicate the stacking order of objects, but only of objects of the same type. You have two types of object on your page, three Ovals and two Rectangles. The Ovals have indexes 0, 1, and 2, the Rectangles, 0 and 1. On pages with objects of mixed types it is therefore not possible (or not straightforward anyway) to determine those objects' stacking order. (An object's id doesn't change when you send it to the front or back, so that doesn't tell you anything about stacking order.)
