Triple Integral bounds question

For the solid bounded by $x=0 , x=2, z=y, z=y-1, z=0, z=4$ I am looking at the $yz-plane$ and setting up a triple integral. I get $int_{0}^{4} int_{z+1}^{z} int_{0}^{2} dxdydz$ However, I was wondering if I did this correctly because $z+1$ is greater than $z$, but when I drew the projection on the yz plane, it looked like z=y-1 is under z=y. Any help appreciated.

          You need to switch the two limits. In a way it is similar to saying if the solid is bounded by $x=2, x=0, ...$ You would not set up the integral as $int_2^0...$

            With reference to the following sketch



            enter image description here



            the set up should be



            $$int_0^2 dx int_0^4 dz int_z^{z+1}dy$$
