2.x vs 3.x

[Tamamo]

That would only work if you changed lookups to be O(n), which kind of defeats the purpose. The reason swap even exists is because some enemies try to change the draw order of thiings, so it's actually pretty trivial.

You're mistaken my dear It has less to do with drawing order and more with keeping the sprite list organized the dead arms of manhandla are pushed to the end for example that way their are no gaps.
