TextMesh Pro Rendering text over inline sprites

Hi,

Is it possible to render text on top of inline sprites?
Entering this snippet in TextMeshProUGUI
<sprite=0><space=-20>i
will hide the character behind the sprite, but I want the opposite to happen.

Changing the Render Queue achieves the desired result in the Scene View, but not in the Game View.

 

By default, the earlier characters in your TextMesh text will render behind the later characters. You can reverse that so the earlier characters render in front of the later characters by using the "Extra Settings" dropdown at the bottom of the TextMesh component and set "Geometry Sorting" to "Reverse".

You could probably also solve this by reversing the order in the text instead of reversing the sort order:
i<space=-20><sprite=0>

 

Thanks for your answer,

I didn't think to mention it, but I also tried to change the Geometry Sorting, without success (either in Scene or Editor View).
Reversing the text also doesn't work (in the latest release of TMP, and Unity 2019.3.3f1).

This seems to be specifically a problem for inline sprites, rendering order for characters works fine.

 

Hi. That's because TMP SubMeshUI [TextMeshPro/Sprite] generates as a child of TMP_Text in hierarchy. I drag it before and it works for me. May be that will help you.
