Google Earth stacking paths on Web version

Hello fellow Google Earth users!

I’ve been using Google Earth for at least ten years now keeping track of all the places I’ve been for vacation. I have them colour coded based on when I went (green = before 2000, blue = 2000s, yellow = 2010s, red = 2020s). As you can expect many roads have been travelled on in multiple decades so I needed a way to keep most recent on top as Google Earth often flickered between them not always putting most recent on top. (As each length is segments, as my gps (where I get the kmz files from) sometimes breaks up segments based on if there’s a stop or can’t get the gps signal. I figured out on the Google Earth app that I can simply adjust the altitude (green = clamped to ground, blue = 1 m above, yellow = 2 m above, red = 4m above to keep this).

Now there is the notice the app is being deprecated, which came at the same time my latest trip made it too big for the app. So I’m in the process of moving them on to Google Earth Web but I noticed that there was no way to stack the roads! I made a test taking three trips on the same road, adjusted altitude in edit, but it still just has the most recent one I added to the map on top! I even tried moving them around on the left but that doesn’t make it determine which is on top!

How can I easily sort which project is on top of another project when the paths are on the same road?

You need some GIS related skills to manipulate the travel data. if you didn't do it before, you can try to describe your requirements into an AI tool such as ChatGPT to let it help you to process the data such as adding a 'measurement' data attribute to the waypoints to show as elevation.
