Here's a SpriteBatch class I created that allows you to just put in sf::Sprites without regard for texture. The class automatically constructs sf::VertexArrays for consecutive sprites with the same texture, blend mode, and shader. It's derived from sf::Drawable and sf::Transformable, so you can use it much like a sprite.
Tell me what you think. I'm sure this class still has much room for improvement. Also, feel free to use and modify it for your projects.
EDIT: I haven't posted this to the wiki yet, but I will post if this is useful.
To use:sf::Sprite spr;
...
SpriteBatch batch;
SpriteBatchItem theSubItem = batch.AddItem(spr); // add a sprite. Differing textures are automatically handled.
SpriteBatchItem theSubItem2 = batch.AddItem(spr, sf::BlendAdd, myShader); // specify different blend mode and shader (this creates a different batch if the previous add is different in texture, blend mode or shader)
theSubItem.setPosition(50.f,50.f); // you can use sf::Transformable methods
theSubItem.setColor(sf::Color::White); // you can set the color of all 4 vertices
theSubItem.setColor(sf::Color::Red,2); // you can set the color of the third vertex (index 2)
theSubItem.UpdateSpriteBatch(); // update the sprite batch (update only if the sprite batch item is transformed
window.draw(batch); // draw the batch
batch.RemoveItem(theSubItem2); // remove a batch item
