I am not using the built in 3d MovieClips, and I am storing the 3d location my way.

I have read a few different articles on sorting depths, but most of them seem in efficient.

I had a really efficient way to do it in AS2, but it was really hacky, and I am guessing there are more efficient ways that do not rely on possibly unreliable hacks.

What is the most efficient way to sort display depths using AS3 with Z depths I already have?
