Animated layer order not working

[madriver]

I have a complex bi-pedal rig set up.

All the layers have enable animated layer order checked as well as depth sort.

On frame 0 everything works fine and I can move layers around in front of or in back of other layers. But as soon as I move off of frame 0, the layers do not move at all.

Is this a conflict with smart bones, of which there are many, or have I forgotten to check something to make this work on the timeline? BTW, when I create a smart bone, animated layer order works fine.

Version 12.4, though I had a similar issue with 11.

Did you enable Animated Layer Effects for the group/bone layer?

And if any smart bones have layer sorting keyframes, that will override manual keyframes.

Yes, this is what has happened. Thanks for your response.
