lblTask.BringToFront() is the correct way to get the newly created label to the top of the list.
What is happening when you run your code?

not to the front of the last label on the top of it

Yes, you need to explain what's wrong with your code.

You need to add the label to the flowLayoutPanel's control collection not the form's - Me.Controls.Add adds it to the form. Where flp.Controls.Add() adds it to a flowlayoutPanel named flp, as an example.
