Two Y axis plot priority

I am trying to create a plot with two vertical axes, in which the line associated with the left vertical axis is plotted OVER the line associated with the right vertical axis. How do I bring the line associated with the left vertical axis to the front?
Sample Code:
x = linspace(0,2*pi,100);
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = cos(x);
figure, plot(x,y1,'linewidth',3) % Large linewidth so you can see which line is in front
yyaxis right, plot(x,y2,'linewidth',3)
Thanks.

There's no great way to do it. You have to trick the plot into thinking there is Z data.
x = linspace(0,2*pi,100);
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = cos(x);
fig = figure;
ax = axes(fig);
yyaxis left
p1 = plot(x,y1,'linewidth',3); % Large linewidth so you can see which line is in front
yyaxis right
p2 = plot(x,y2,'linewidth',3);
p1.ZData = ones(length(p1.YData),1);
p2.ZData = zeros(length(p1.YData),1);
ax.SortMethod = 'depth';
