    I've downloaded the new 2018.3.0b1 beta and added the isometric tilemap onto the scene. Tried tinkering with the values but I can't get the tile sorting correct. Here's an animated gif of my best effort, as you can see the corner towers are overlapping:

    Is there a way to fix this?

    I've been encountering what I believe is the same issue.

    I have the same issue. Fix does not work. This happends also if only 1 type of tile is used.

    Hi, if you could send your reproduction project through the Unity Bug Reporter, that would be helpful!

    Also, please post the bug case number here (and just that number), thanks!

    Hi, I followed the suggestions in post #3674053 mentioned above and I'm having the same issues as well. I went ahead and submitted a bug report:

    Artifacts gone in isometric tilemap, but it seem like transparency sort axis have no any effect on sorting order in chunk mode, and it still not sorting correctly when z as y.

    Yes, the transparency sort axis will not have any effect on the sorting order of Tiles with the TilemapRenderer in Chunk Mode. When using Isometric Z as Y, Individual mode is referred to get the sorting of other Renderers with the Tiles.

    This almost completely defeats the purpose of using a tilemap, and is not consistent with behavior in other engines (including my own non-unity tilemap implementations).

    There is really no reason that chunk mode sorting shouldn't work, barring an inherently flawed architecture

    In Chunk mode, the Tiles are sorted based on a simple sort order set in the TilemapRenderer.

    The transparency sort mode/axis is a property specific to the rendering Camera/s, even though this is usually set through the Graphics Settings. With the possibility of multiple Cameras having multiple modes of sorting and sorting axes, there would be plenty of sorting configurations for each Tilemap, hence the simple sort order.
