    Permanent objects on the Master Slide always appear under objects on the slide. Those objects won't appear on the Timeline, and they can't be used in triggers on the slide. 

    Only placeholders (where you add slide-specific content, such as the Title) will appear on the Timeline, and those can be rearranged with other slide elements. 

    To have Master objects appear over the slide objects, add a layer to the Master Slide. Put the objects on that layer. Add a trigger to the Master that shows the layer when the timeline begins. 

    Note: You'll have to be careful if you want to use layers on your slides. Those will be above the Master layer. And if their Slide Layer Properties are set to hide other layers, that will hide the Master one.
