Change Battlers' Sprite Z order?

[Isabella Ava]

Hi guys,
I tried to change battlers' Z order with this code but it doesn't work:
I think i sorted the wrong array.. perhaps?
Can someone help me, plz (っ- ‸ – ς)

//changeZ
BattleManager.cChangeZ = function(name, actionArgs) {
    var movers = this.makeActionTargets(name);
    if (movers.length < 1) return true;
    var cZ = parseInt(actionArgs[0]);
    //check to see if mover is Actor or Enemy
    //console.log(movers);
    var actors = SceneManager._scene._spriteset._actorSprites;
    var enemies = SceneManager._scene._spriteset._enemySprites;
    for(var i = 0; i < movers.length; i++) {
        if (movers[i].isActor()) {
            actors.some(function(actor) {
                if (actor._actor._actorId == movers[i]._actorId) {
                    actor.z = cZ; return true;
                } else {return false;}
            });
        } else {
            enemies.some(function(enemy) {
                if (enemy._enemy._enemyId == movers[i]._enemyId && enemy._enemy._letter.trim() == movers[i]._letter.trim()) {
                    enemy.z = cZ; return true;
                } else {return false;}
            });
        }
    }
    
    //REFRESH
    SceneManager._scene._spriteset.battlerSprites().sort(function(a,b) {
        a.z = a.z || 1;
        b.z = b.z || 1;
        return a.z - b.z;
    });
    //console.log(SceneManager._scene._spriteset.battlerSprites());
    
    return true;
};

You tried to sort the correct array I think. You just didn't sort it the correct way.

function compare(a, b) {
  if (a is less than b by some ordering criterion) {
    return -1;
  }
  if (a is greater than b by the ordering criterion) {
    return 1;
  }

So what you should have returned is not a.z - b.z, but
a.z >= b.z ? 1 : -1
