In a situation like this what would be the best way to sort the labels, I have a distance calculation that I am doing for each one to zoom them independently. I assume this would be where I should also try to sort them?
I think you can use your distance (or inverse distance) as the z-index value for those labels.
I tried that to no avail.
I did camera.maxZ - Math.floor(distance)
I guess a PG is the next step!
a bit of sorting should do the trick

i’ll leave optimizing to you, maybe add label reference to separate array rather than advtexture children, stop/start sorting on demand, etc.
