Is it possible to set an individual cell's z-index in a TileMap?

I have an isometric TileMap which uses y-sorting. It works great, expect when AnimatedSprites (children of TileMap) share the same y coordinate because I want some AnimatedSprites to appear over others when they share the same y coordinate.

My hope is to be able to set TileMap cells and AnimatedSprite’s z-index to create my own custom sorting. It’s important to note that the TileMap cells contain walls.

Possible?

Thank you for your time.

Hmm, well according to eons, there doesn’t seem to be a way.

I have a hack way of doing it, which is to increase the y coordinate one pixel for the sprite I want to display above, and then minus one from the sprite’s y offset to appear as if it’s not 1 pixel below the other. I hate this, but it’s all I can come up with, unless someone else has a better idea…?
