Manipulating sprite overlap?

Hi,

Are there ways to change the way sprites overlap each other? I know sprite priorities affect how they've drawn relative to the backgrounds, but what do I do if I want certain sprites to be under or over other ones? Are sprites with higher index (set with VDP_setSprite(index, etc) for example) simply drawn over the lower ones?

Thanks!

I think the order is set by the first parameter of VDP_setSprite function.

On screen, Sprite 0 is above 1 to 79, 1 is above 2 to 79, etc

sprites with higher index (set with VDP_setSprite(index, etc) for example) simply drawn over the lower ones?

sprites with LOWER index will be drawned over the HIGHER ones

Exactly, sprites are draw in the order they appear in the sprite list...
First sprite in the list is the first draw sprite.
