Z-Index change has no effect

[EpicDiceStudio]

Hello,

I have the impression that the ZIndex property doesn't work at all.

No matter what value is set, it's the order of addition to the Stage that matters, not the ZIndex.

I thought it worked like this:

• Application creation
• Creation of layers / groups (with ZIndexes)
• Sprite creation etc.
• Add sprites to groups (parentGroup)

I tested with two groups, the first with a ZIndex of 20 and the second with a ZIndex of 1. The first should naturally be displayed above the first.
Obviously, this isn't the case: I have to add the first layer to the stage last so that it appears in the foreground.

In my application, I use Pixi/Viewport, but I've tested it without and I get the same behavior.

I'm in Pixi v7, here's a Fork of an example (not in V7):

I've moved the editLayer so that it's added first, but when I change the ZIndex nothing happens. So I don't really understand the purpose of this property... In my application I need to be able to add/edit layers, which would require me to manually manage the order of the layers in the stage stack, is this normal?

zIndex works only inside one single group.

Group zIndex prop isnt used currently ) You can sort your layers by it manually
