BetterYSort

Can be used in place of Godot's built-in YSort in order to support customizing the y-value used to sort on nodes.

An example use-case is for a Path2D node which is the direct child of a YSort. In this case you would likely want to use the global y-position of the Path2D's child PathFollow2D as the sort value.

Supports nesting multiple BetterYSort nodes for organization. All child BetterYSort nodes are flattened into the top-level BetterYSort when the _ready() method is called on the base node.

Use

For any node which is a direct descendant of a BetterYSort node for which you would like to use a different y-value when sorting, simply implement a method get_ysort_yposition()which returns the y-value for sorting.
