Default Substrate question

K, i know this might be a really stupid question, but bare with me.

I have a bunch of sphagnum moss, organic soil, and medium sized orchid bark I bought from OSH. What should the 1st(Deepest Layer), 2nd, and 3rd(Top layer) layer be?

Planning to fill the ground with leaf litter.

i would mix the orchid bark and organic soil together then put the spagnum on top of that then leaf litter.

What's your drainage layer?
