Hey guys this is my first post for help on here.

How do I choose what order entitys are drawn without using entityorder? if i use this it slows down my games majorly.

The problem I have is I set up a camera to work with a 2d environment and if i draw entities all at the same z position they tend to be on top of each other the closer to the center of the screen they are.

I need to be able to have some things always below others.

what is the best way to render 3d objects in a 2d style game?

Thank you.
