Sort 2D primitives in 3d coordinates? You can at the moment, with a bit
of a hacky method. I took the code from a post by Steve Hunt and theres
a working example on my web page. If you try to incorporate it you'll
see where the problems come from though, but they shouldn't be
insurmountable.

Isn't about time someone pulled apart the primitives being put in the
packet area? Its something I mean to do, but am too lazy to at the mo.
