which sprite number is positioned "below" all the others? for example, when sprite 2 overlaps sprite 1, is sprite 1 seen or sprite 2?

If you are using DBC: the first sprite u make, will be allways on bottom, the last one u create, will always be on top.

If you are using DBP: the same as DBC, but you can change it priority with the command set sprite priority sprite_nr,priority

I had exactly the same problem a couple of years ago! I eventually discovered the Sprite order depended on what got printed first, the sprite number does not matter. So work out what you need to be printed, sprites on top get printed last, sprites below get printed first etc etc, then just hide all the unnecessary ones and hey presto! Hope this works for you - I'm just off to see if what I told you is correct! But its the way i remember it.

Oh and if you want to keep your sprite order, don't delete any Sprites, because when they eventually get re-done, they'll appear on top of everything.

Ok just quickly checked my very old program, and it does appear that I printed all my background stuff first and the foreground stuff last. So please try and see, and let me know if it works!
Cheers!

P.S If the above doesn't work try re-positioning your SYNC command to the top of the your DO/LOOP it may help a little, it did with my current game when the Options box wasn't being displayed after a Mode Change but the options sprites were. I changed the position of the Sync and it sorted it all out. To this day I have no idea why
