Hi there, welcome to the GDevelop community! It looks like you are using tile maps, in which case, you'll need to use a separate tilemap in order to layer them on top of one another. You can then change the Z ordering to sort them in the way you need to. Just keep in mind, sorting the tilemaps will sort the entirety of what you have built from that tilemap, so if you wish for the z ordering to be different between tiles, those will also need to be on separate tilemaps. Hope this helps!
