Bringing the Curve to the Forefront

I have hundreds of points on my graphs; sometimes, thousand or more. And regardless how I set the order of series (the points, first & the curve, second, or the other way around), always the curve is...

    Do you mean the curve and points in Scatter Chart?
    I suppose bring forward/backward doesn't support layer order within a chart.
    There's some workaround to make the curve clearly.

    (1) Click the points, in "Format Data Point" -> Fill & Line -> Marker -> Marker Option, decrease size of Built-in point marker.

    (2) Copy the chart, show only points in ChartA; show only curve in ChartB, fill with transparent and bring forward.

    (3) Create Scatter chart without line -> Select Source, add same series again -> Select this new series, Format Data Series -> Plot Series on Second Axis, Change Chart Type of 2nd series as "Scatter with Smooth Line"
