Have you tried setting the z-index on your player and your bullet nodes? This way you can ensure they will always be drawn in the order that you want. A node with a lower z-index will be drawn under a node with a higher z-index.

thanks that work!

Set the z_index property of the bullet is lower than the player, or if it’s a child of the player and z_as_relative is true set it below 0, similar to 3D with the camera’s projection set to orthogonal facing in the -Z direction.
