I have a lot of issues I know... Now it's about the sprite priority in my game. Here is the problem: I want my game to show my sprites in a specific order. For this, I have set the sprite priority for my sprites, with no effect. The player is supposed to be drawn above the background but below the shading of the scene. My code look like this:

endif
if leftkey()=0 and runleft_flag = 1
runleft_flag = 0
SET SPRITE frame 2, 17
endif
rem ** if both left and right is pressed, stop
if leftkey()=1 and rightkey()=1
SET SPRITE frame 2, 17
STOP SOUND 1
endif
return
As you can see, the background have a priority of 1, ground 2, player 3, and shading 4. But! Whenever I start the game, the player is drawn below every sprite, which is totally not what I want.
Please help me out, it'll be very much appreciated!
