Well, you have a global variable currentBuffer that will be used when you
sort your object in your main loop.  But, in your RenderWorld() function you
define a new instance of currentBuffer that is local to the function.  So,
your global currentBuffer never gets updated and you are always drawing to
the same OT when you are sorting your objects.

Simply remove the 'int' from in front of currentBuffer = GsGetActiveBuff()
and you should be set. :)
