Post Body

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a 2D side-scroller game. I'd like it so that I could have all the sprites sort their "Order In Layer" themselves by their Z coordinate so that assets with a lower Z coordinate have a higher Order in Layer number. I have a script that I can attach to assets so they do so on Play but I'd prefer a script that runs in the editor and I've never done a script like that before.

The setting that let's you do this in project settings>graphics is unavailable because we're using the experimental 2D lighting system in Unity and the URP we're using doesn't allow that configuration.
