How to Manage When Objects are Behind Other Objects (YSort)

A YSort node will compare the Y position of every child node and display the object that is further down in front.

1. Select the world node
2. Select Add Child Node
3. Select YSort

Make sure objects' base areas are set up for correct YSorting. For example, the player will want to be YSorted using their feet rather than the middle of their body. To do this, you must:

1. Click the object's Open in Editor button (Looks like movie clapperboard)
2. Select the Sprite, CollisionShape2D, and other relevant child nodes
3. Move the selected nodes up or down so the base area is on the scene's origin. With the player example, the player's feet would be over the scene's origin.
