I've created a test class that demonstrates the sorting issue I'm having. http://abowman.nozonenet.com/away3d/outlineTest/OutlineTest.as http://abowman.nozonenet.com/away3d/outlineTest/head.dae
Here is the way I would like it to look. This was created with the code before this update. http://abowman.nozonenet.com/away3d/outlineTest/outlineTest_older.swf Here is the swf created with code from this update. http://abowman.nozonenet.com/away3d/outlineTest/outlineTest_newer.swf If this is not a bug, it would be nice if there was an option to use the old sorting method.
