Hi, how do I set the draw depth?

Do I have to glEnable the depth buffer and manually change the matrix?

i wrote a simple render system that i sent objects to with a z value that it would sort before rendering.

SFML as far as i know has no built in method of doing it in the window draw function.

That's true, there's no depth in SFML. The depth is simply given by the drawing order.

Sorry, in SFML 2.0 no depth too? It is a big shortcoming. Very often I can not observe sequence of sprite output to screen according to z-position...

No depth in SFML 2.0, sorry.

Let me remind you that SFML is a "low level" language and not anywhere near an engine

As RixCoder says: you should be able to implement it yourself. It is just a matter of which is drawn last on screen.

Raw OpenGL or a proper 3D rendering library/engine that is compatible with SFML can do the job, so there's really no need for it to be implemented in SFML (it was not meant for it anyway).
