Probably a very basic question here, I want to change the draw order of a shapefile in qgis, how can this be done?
As you can see in the picture below, only the "10" layer is shown, but since this is a depth map of Skagerrak, I would like the other layers to show up on top of it.

QGIS >= 2.14 has built in support for specifying the rendering order. It's on the bottom of the "styles" tab under your layer properties.
this version is better since it also works inside one level for overlapping objects (in the case of points, you can think of trees, which you render as a forest, with the one on the top of the map covered by the one on the bottom)

This is much better than using the Symbol levels (see other answer). This technique is persistent while using symbol levels requires manually updating each time you change the classification.

You could also change the Symbol levels of your shapefile to give each symbol layer higher priorities than others. You can access this from:
Layer Properties > Style > Advanced > Symbol levels

Just change feature blending to "Multiply" and you will see the borders of all features without having to change anything else.
I really cannot recommend to split the vector layer as you posted. That just does not scale at all.

The (probably) easiest way is to simply split each layer to a different shape file. this is done in vector -> Data -> split vector layer (translated the menu options from Swedish..).
