So this is very difficult for me to explain but I'll try.
There are many "UnitObject" objects in the level. I want that if the object Y value is higher than other UnitObject it will be in the front it and if the Y value is lower than other UnitObject it will be behind it. This way the objects can move behind and in front of other same objects.
Check this:

Ah yes.
You'll need the Layer Object.
Always:
LayerObject->Sort UnitObject by Y Value ascending
Or maybe its descending. Easy to try both and see which one is correct.

i always just use a fastloop and bring things to the front as necessary.

Ah yes, I haven't tried the Layer object but fast loop sounds good idea. How can I be so stupid 
EDIT: And yes it works. Thank you so much

The only problem i've found is...
Imagine its a beat em up in the style of say "Streets Of Rage", everything works the way it should.
Now imagine the breakable barrels/traffic cones etc in the middle of the screen.
for example, I create an active object which is a barrel, its movement is static. The layer object appears to completely ignore it. Is there a way around this?
Also, whats the benefit of the fast loop object?
Edit: It would appear for it to work all active object must have the same height and width.

Where are you putting the hot spots in your objects?
They should be where ever the object's 'base' is. Ie, the point where the object is in contact with the ground.
That's the only thing I can think of that would be making it work incorrectly.

I havn't used hot spots at all and everything else works fine.
I bassically increased the size of the barrel (so theres loads more transparency around it) and re-positioned it more in the middle, and it appears to have worked.
