Movies and screenshots do not respect layering order on screen. #257

The LASCO C2/C3 layering order in the viewport is not respected in movies and screenshots. This is a screengrab:

The layering in the viewport should be respected in the movies/screenshots.

After some digging, this is not a bug and is by design in the codebase. Layering order is set based on a pre-defined list of instruments.

As it stands, the api will always render SOHO LASCO C3 over SOHO LASCO C2 and STEREO_A/B SECCHI COR2 over STEREO_A/B SECCHI COR1.

My assumption is that this preset layering order was implemented to create a properly layered image. However, it does not respect the layering order, on screen, as seen in the front-end.

This can be disabled. Let me know how I should proceed.

I think the layering order on screen should be respected. It's easier to understand how helioviewer works that way.
