Why, of course you can.  When you change the offset (u,v in GsSprite structure)
it will only affect the next sprite which is sorted into the OT (using
GsSortSporte or GsSortFastSprite).  Sprites which have already been sorted will
not be affected by any changes made to variables afterwards.

Does that help?
